Produced and arranged in collaboration with the renowned Stax guitarist Steve Cropper, For My Love...Mother Music remains one of Jose Feliciano's most soulful and appealing LPs, moving seamlessly between earthy, Memphis-flavored Latin-funk and sun-kissed L.A. grooves.
Credit also a winningly eclectic batch of songs that includes a brooding rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Blame It on the Sun" and a lithe, knowing version of Steely Dan's "Dirty Work." Cropper's presence also seems to push Feliciano to new peaks as a guitarist: the virtuoso "The Gypsy" is stunning.
