Canadian group Crack Of Dawn released two albums between 1976 and 1981 before disappearing from the radar until they remerged in 2017 with their third album ‘Spotlight’. The latest incarnation of the band includes core members from nearly 40 years ago and the sound on ‘Spotlight’ bears the hallmarks of soaking up four decades of musical influence while keeping things firmly old school. The band’s signature tune ‘Crack Of Dawn’ is a good, funky soul opener, ‘Somebody’s Watchin’ You’ and ‘Boobie Ruby’ are real vintage grooves while they revisit their cover of the Chuck Jackson penned ‘It’s Alright’ (This feeling I’m Feeling). The title track ‘Spotlight’ is a good ballad while the mid tempo ‘Your Love’ also works well. The finale finds the group in that familiar bumping, full band funky groove with ‘Changes’. Well worth investing in this for a strong dose of old school soul!
