One of David Axelrod's oddest records, but still a darn great one! The whole album is sort of a concept album about slavery (hence the title ''The Auction''), and it has some spiritual political vocals on a number of tracks – but underneath is the usual great funky instrumentation of David Axelrod, with lots of nice deep grooves that kick the otherwise snoozy lyrics into another level. The whole thing's got a feel that's sort of like the 24 Carat Black record, with a deep soulful groove.
