About this product
The only cover tune on Carlton Jumel Smith's Inch1634 Lexington Ave.Inch album is not really a cover at all, since it was first cut by Carlton himself already 10 years ago. The sultry 2009 edition of InchI'd BetterInch, that was put out on the short-lived UK Soulchoonz tag, is a nice piece of programmed mid-tempo modern soul. The new version, now getting a 7Inch single treatment on Timmion, still sounds miles away from the polished earlier effort.It starts off with a nice guitar led beat before settling into a sweet Tighten Up groove, a funky road which still has plenty curves to explore, even for Cold Diamond & Mink, who are certainly not lifting water from this particular well for the first time. What remains naturally is Carlton's ultra-soulful vocal performance, and a message of manning up to the max, staying true to your word in front of something divine.It's not that often you hear a more recent version of a song sounding so that you would think it's the old version. Essentially, what you get is a beautiful piece of xover soul, with timeless swagger, and an instrumental with soulful legs of it's own. Album Tracks 1. I'd Better 2. I'd Better (Instrumental)

Continuing the series of single releases from Carlton Jumel Smith's album Inch1634 Lexington Ave.Inch is a beauty of a track in the form of InchAin't That LoveInch. In soul music guitar doesn't always take lead the way it does here played by Seppo Salmi of Timmion house band Cold Diamond & Mink. You might know those tracks like Darondo's InchDidn't IInch or InchOh LoveInch by Iron Knowledge that begin with a guitar line that just freezes the heart.And there's of course one soulful guitar man we can't leave out here. If Carlton ever put his Bobby Womack to the front, it might be the case with this mid-tempo shuffler. Carlton always sings like he's squeezing the last drops of emotion from the human race, but in this number he's really aiming for the cherry. Cold Diamond & Mink supply the right ingredients for the mix with a strong beat and mellowed out horn melodies.If there's one single you want to pick from Carlton's album for those Autumn Sundays looking through the window or walking in the park, make it this one.
