Moon Shadow
Back in stock. It took Labelle (as opposed to Patti LaBelle & the Bluebelles) several albums to make the transition from decent to remarkable, and the trio was hardly an overnight sensation. What was true of 1971's Labelle is also true of 1972's Moon Shadow; this LP isn't as conceptually brilliant as Nightbirds, Phoenix, and Chameleon would be, but it's a solid, heartfelt effort that is never short on guts. Whether the threesome is embracing songs by Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash or giving the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" and Cat Stevens' "Moon Shadow" sweaty soul makeovers, this gospel-drenched LP is about as gritty as it gets.
