Info for We Got The Groove! (Remastered)
The Players Association is a perfect example of a band that improved as it went along. Their self-titled debut album of 1977 is their least essential, but when We Got the Groove came out in 1980, it was clear that the Association had gone from competent to excellent. This LP marked the first time that a Players Association album didn't contain any covers of major R&B and disco hits of the late '70s; all of the material was written by leader/drummer/arranger Chris Hills. The key to excellence in the disco-funk field is finding the perfect groove and working it to death, and Hill's outfit does exactly that on "The Get-Down Mellow Sound," "Dance," "We're Almost There," and the title track. Although the tunes received very little radio airplay, they enjoyed their share of dance club exposure and could easily bring a dancefloor to life. Without question, We Got the Groove is the Players Association's most essential album.
