Dennis Coffey's Westbound debut heralds the tectonic shift away from the synapse-scorching psychedelic funk of his previous records toward a slicker, more commercial approach that anticipates the full-blown disco sensibility of his subsequent outings. Although cuts like the climactic "Wild Child" (yet another variation on Coffey's smash "Scorpio") retain the jazz-rock ferocity of the guitarist's best work, the majority of cuts (most egregiously the juvenile "If You Can't Dance to This, You Got No Business Havin' Feet") fall back on banal string arrangements and tepid beats. Fantastic cover art, though.
