Review by gassy goon
Cher & Gregg Allman seized the moment and recorded this one and only album. It's got 11 songs, with a range of styles. Most songs have a R&B feel to them. Others have a light disco backbeat with the drums. This was the 4th and last 70's album by Cher that was on Warner Brothers. Surprisingly, none of her WB albums yielded any hit singles, and this album didn't even chart on Billboard's Top 200 albums. It is a good time piece, and has some highlights with CAN YOU FEEL and DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO, two of the best songs on here. They share each song together, but also get one solo each, Cher on ISLAND, a very different sparse arrangement that is rare to hear, and Gregg on SHADOW DREAM SONG. Also notable is their version of YOU'VE REALLY GOT A HOLD ON ME, which Sonny & Cher did in 1965 . The album spotlights them as singers, as Gregg Allman didn't even play guitar on this, nor write any original songs. It's a good effort, but MOVE ME, the only single issued from it, and a light disco dud, is the opening track & not a very good one either. Their versions of the R&B oldies illustrate their influences, and their version of Elvis' LOVE ME, is also a highlight.
