1975's "Home Wrecker" found Davis working with a series of five separate producers and production teams. To be honest, most of the ten tracks didn't mark a major change from his earlier catalog, but then you probably already knew what to expect if you were looking at buying a Tyrone Davis LP. That said, there were a couple of standout exceptions ... Songs like 'Homewreckers' , 'Is lt Something You've Got' and the Stax-flavored 'I Got a Sure Thing' surrounded Davis with a tougher, blues oriented sound that was a welcomed change of pace from his standard 'love man' moves. Davis himself seemed to enjoy the change of pace turning in some of his most impressive performances on those up-tempo numbers, including the sizzling blues number 'A Woman Needs To Be Loved'. (Nice polyester suit there guy ...)
