Review by Linky Gray

The Blackbyrds' album, City Life, is a smooth and funky masterpiece that showcases the band's incredible musicianship and songwriting skills. Released in 1975, the album features a mix of jazz, funk, and soul that is both infectious and timeless.

The opening track, "Rock Creek Park," is a funky instrumental that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight rhythm section, led by drummer Keith Killgo and bassist Joe Hall, provides the perfect foundation for the horns and keyboards to soar over.

Other standout tracks include "City Life," a soulful ballad that showcases the band's vocal harmonies, and "Flying High," a groovy jam that features some impressive guitar work from Barney Perry.
