Ronnie Laws -Solid Ground July 28, 2008
This CD is so special because my brother gave me this on album when i turned 18 and he passed 8 years later and someone stole my album. Thank you Amazon for making this available and affordable
If you find it grab it! August 16, 2007
I found this used for 20.00 and so glad i did! This is yet another clasic jazz/funk/R&B CD from the Great Ronnie Laws. If you like this get Friends and Strangers, and Every generation. Flame is another good one, but it has never been on CD. This man was the SH*$. I never get tired of this CD or the other 2 listed above. I would give this one 10 stars!

I recently was given this album by a friend. I say album, because it is on a record. I must say that this album sounds great. I wish they would release it on CD. Albums like this paved the way for smooth jazz. The instruments sound great and the composition of the songs is impecable. I give this 5 stars. Truly a masterpeace in terms of the jazz format begining to come out in the 1980s.

As far as singing Ronnie gives us a real treat with his versatility. His sax is always mellow and a blessing to the ears. But the two tracks, 2 and 3 includesThere's a way, and Stay Awake, both are beautifully written and performed. It is ashame that Heavy on Easy and either There's a way or Stay awake are not on his Greatest hits CD. Along with Friends and Lovers, and Every Generation, these are the songs that set Ronnie apart from other artists Jazz or otherwise.

Once upon a time in the early 80's there was no such thing as smooth jazz.And when lighter hearted fusion was made it tended to have a far more diverse range of colors.Ronnie Laws comes from that older school of lite funk-jazz musicians who enjoyed some hefty R&B flavor in their music."Solid Ground" is definately more of a funky R&B album then anything jazzy but it has those nice 80's keyboards and on the title track and "Your Stuff" Mr.Laws is a damn good singer as well,no George Benson but certainly no Stanley Clarke on the mic lol.And for an album of this type,this vintage IT SOUNDS GOOD!No question about it.It is very well produced and poppy in many parts but if you know anything about my musical tastes it fits right into that framework.If you like the early 80's work of Jeff Lorber,Paul Hardcastle and George Duke you will likely find music to your liking here.
