"Now this newly remastered and reprised offering from Strut Records helps us place Branch's early genius in context. The focus is on Oneness Of Juju, where virtuoso soloing was mostly sacrificed for commercial good, though various side projects get a look-in. Heavy funk and soul jazz helped to sweeten Branch's message which never lacked for defiance ... Branch's great formula was to provide strength, hope and soulful connections through music. This ecstatic compilation shows just how often he got the chemistry right".
