Don't You Think It's Time

A fantastic independent LP by the small local San Francisco-based Courtial! This is one of the records that has the "all killer no filler" tag all over it, even though its standout track is probably "Losing You", a fierce funky-latiney-rockish little number with a storming piano break in the intro that you might know from a compilation (Keb Darge, California Soul).
Courtial was founded by guitarist Bill Courtial & conga man Pete "Coke" Escovedo, with Errol Knowles on vocals. And believe me even with their middle-ages minstrel outfits they can hold a groove! A great feature of the record is the presence of a funky quirky keyboard that you can hear on the title track snippet. A gem of an album, and a real grower—repeated listens advised.
