Ten original songs written & partnered by Junior Crudup & Theodore Wysinger Jr. The tracks range from down home blues (Mr Everything) to rock (Monster On The Loose) to funk (Mommas Baby Pappas Maybe).
What songs stand out the most in this CD? All of them. From the start with Back In Your Love Again you get the sense of that this is not going to be just another blues record. Indeed, the first track is alive and pop'ish before going into Whatch You Gonna Do? kicks into a little regaee. High School reunion is a hopsock Do-wop. Monster On The Loose is a rock track all the way and helps accent the onset of Do My Dance. Country wasn't forgotten with the inclusion of Bobby Magoo. Track seven is Mommas Baby Pappas Maybe, an old skool funk track with a comedic tale to tell. Mr Everything is all about the blues from head to toe before escalating into Love Machine, a hard driving story of lust & love. And it ends with the title song Sure Love, a beautiful heartfelt ballad to bring it all home. All of this encompasses a full well thought out CD that allows Junior to shine as a front man. Humor, Love, Old Times, Having fun, its all there. In one package. Just like Junior himself. A little something for everyone to enjoy.
