While its sound is unmistakably Stax -- its elegant yet earthy sensibility couldn't come from anywhere else -- the music expands on the formula via tight, hypnotic grooves and scorching guitar licks. The up-tempo \"I Can't Stand This Loneliness\" is the unqualified highlight, but there's not a bum note to be found here -- everything works, from the relentless opener \"Patch It Up\" to the lovely ballad \"Something Special.\" ~ Jason Ankeny","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52281379553567,"sku":"029667522724","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/b1cf175eb0c563dae37c78ede7f58bb6_7b03c8b4-37cb-428b-9050-413ace7472be.jpg?v=1777878157","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/roy-lee-johnson-and-the-villagers","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
