Ain't No 'bout-a-doubt It on Blu-ray Audio

After helping create the rhythms for innumerable Sly & The Family Stone classics, bassist Larry Graham ventured out on his own in the early 1970s as the leader of Graham Central Station. The Bay Area collective released a string of albums for Warner Bros. That decade, among the most enjoyable of which was AIN't NO 'BOUT-A-DOUBT IT. The 1975 set, cut at Wally Heider's San Francisco studio, features such infectiously funky originals as opener "The Jam," "It's Alright," "Water" and No.1 R&B single "Your Love." The sextet lays down formidable grooves throughout, with some appealing melodies and oddball production touches (like backwards tape loops) thrown in for good measure. There's little doubt that AIN't NO 'BOUT-A-DOUBT IT will hit the spot for '70s R&B fans.
