Digitally remastered reissue of this 1977 album from the poet/musician, a collaboration with keyboardist Brian Jackson. On this album, Jackson plays synthesizer bass, one of the earliest uses of an instrument that was to reshape the sound of Soul music in the '80s. 'Racetrack In France' and 'Hello Sunday Hello Road' are joyful up tempo tracks reflecting experiences from life on the road. 'We Almost Lost Detroit' tells of a near accident at a nuclear power station that had the potential to wipe the motor city off the map. In 'Delta Man (Where I'm Coming From)', you can hear the deep emotion in Gil's voice as he reflects on his ancestry. Nine tracks. Soul Brother Records.

「杏里」（ANRI）這位發展甚早的實力派女唱將可說在80年代引起一波CITY POP樂風的盛起，原本朝偶像之路邁進的她，一腳踏進實力派之林，朝著專業歌手之路邁進的她，用清亮的歌聲與舞台演唱產生市場區隔，並開始受到當時年輕人的矚目。

内容（「CDジャーナル」データベースより）
洗練されたファンク調の「イフ・ユー」で始まるこのアルバム,軽快さがポイント。次の世代のリゾート・ミュージックを予感させるアルバムで,リズムを強調しながら,あくまで軽くってのが売りみたい。BGMに最適。
