Description:
Feel Good, not Superfly, is the sound of early-'70s pimping even when the tempo slows down, which happens rarely, it's for a slow blues grind, not a ballad, and songs like Tina's "Kay Got Laid (Joe Got Paid)" make no apologies for mythologizing pimps. This results in a supremely sleazy, utterly addictive record, one that's relentless in its rhythms and fearless in its funk as Ike lays down nasty rock & roll guitar check his solos on "Feel Good", where he's as elastic as rubber and Tina tears it up with pure, unbridled passion.

Feel Good is quintessentially '70s the fuzztoned funk practically conjures up platform shoes and mile-wide collars but it doesn't belong to any one sound, it casually draws from Southern soul, James Brown funk, black pride, Superfly style and juke joint R&B, a sound that is uniquely identified with Ike & Tina. And while this contains no flat-out classics like "Nutbush City Limits" or "Proud Mary", as an album Feel Good undoubtedly ranks among their very best : it's a non-stop party.
