Kelly's third
release for Warner Brothers may not be as immediately appealing as the two
earlier albums, but has more than its share of winners. Kelly's voice
and writing talents have always appealed to us and that's the case on 1974's
"Hooked
Hogtied & Collared '.
Produced by Buddy Killen, Kelly deserves credit for having the willpower to
avoid the seemingly irresistible push to record disco. While the set
doesn't exactly qualify as old school soul, that's the genre where Kelly
shines. Tracks such as 'Try My Love', 'I Believe I Can' and the Gospel
flavored testifying on 'Holding On for Dear Life' are simply
great. Personal favorite, the surprisingly rocking opener
'Let Your Love Come Down'. Check out the interesting cover art
