Everyone's favorites, Take 6 returns to what they do best - perform astonishing close harmony vocal arrangements with soul, sophistication, and conviction. And of course, there are sacred pieces as well. This album completes the group's migration away from their a cappella jazz roots, a trend that began with the departure of Mervyn Warren. The double entendre extends to the album title as well. Founding member Mark Kibble brought in brother Joey to take Warren's place several years ago, and on this album Claude McKnight III's brother Brian plays a major role.
Lyrics are both in Japanese and English.
For Take 6 fans who want more a cappella from the group, this 1992 video just may be the ticket. It's a very enjoyable 40 minutes with a nice bunch of guys who happen to be amazing singers. Their second album offers some of the same gorgeous vocal jazz, along with some more contemporary arrangements. Their debut album is simply spectacular. If you are new to Take 6, then start at the very beginning.
