The Isley Brothers
Go All The Way |
|
The Isley Brothers kicked off their fourth decade with this
Platinum, #1 album originally issued in 1980. Previously
unreleased on CD in the U.S., Go All The Way is highlighted
by #1 hit ballad "Don't Say Goodnight (It's Time For Love)"
and finds The Isley Brothers embracing new technology while
fortifying their proven strengths. Go All The Way features a
half dozen extended fan favorites and chart hits (including
"Here We Go Again" and the title track) that have not
previously been heard in pristine digital sound. One of
their most melodic albums, all was not quite as harmonious
behind the scenes for the 3 + 3 lineup at this point, as
former Isley Brothers songwriter/keyboardist Chris Jasper
reveals in the enlightening liner notes.
Go All The Way was written at a time when business
disagreements threatened to split the group in two. “We
younger guys were gonna do an album on our own in 1980,”
Chris Jasper reveals in an exclusive new interview conducted
for this reissue. “I just started writing some music. I
didn’t have any idea that Ronald would end up singing it
when I wrote it.” Writing outside the 3 + 3 framework paid
artistic dividends, as the fresh and energetic Go All The
Way boldly moved The Isley Brothers sound out of the ’70s
and into the ’80s.
Go All The Way has been digitally remastered from the first
generation tapes by 3 time Grammy Award winner Joe Palmaccio,
who previously oversaw the reissues of The Isley Brothers’
CDs 3 + 3, Live It Up, The Heat Is On and Harvest For The
World on Legacy.
