Bar-Kays Anticipation
Loading...

1982 album Propositions
The B-side to 1983's Top 20 "She Talks to Me With Her Body" single, and originally from the Bar-Kays' 1981 LP Propositions, "Anticipation" is the antithesis of everything that the Bar-Kays were identified with. Gone are the fiery funk riffing and urgent groove, replaced instead by mid-tempoed balladeering as Larry Dodson traded in his customary rough vocals for a smoother R&B delivery.
However, while many bands would have faltered before such an abrupt deviation from form, the Bar-Kays were able to bridge the stylistic gap with ease. Atmospherically, the song is a distinct second cousin to Bill Withers' "Lovely Day," a recommendation in itself. Add its own sweet melodicism, carried on Larry Smith's dreamy guitar, and you're looking at an undisguised classic.

This really took me home to Memphis, love this, sitting on grand Ma porch with the crush of the day enjoying a hot summer night. Damm I miss them days.
