Remastered by Vic Anesini from the original master tapes. Includes 2 bonus tracks and a brand new 3000-word essay by A. Scott Galloway. Originally released in 1981 on the short-lived Boardwalk Records tag, Tenderness finds a slimmed-down Ohio Players lineup featuring original members Leroy InchSugarfootInch Bonner, Marshall InchRockInch Jones, Marvin InchMervInch Pierce and Ralph InchPeeWeeInch Middlebrooks (with a crucial assist from classic-era drummer James InchDiamondInch Williams) tackling a new decade. The band's 13th album proved to be unlucky on the charts but stands today as it's last great organic work. Two Otis Redding covers first capture the attention, yet it's the depth of soulfulness in Bonner's own compositions and performances that make Tenderness a must-hear entry in the Ohio Players discography. InchOf all the albums I've ever made for mine, I think I like Tenderness the best. Because I got the chance to really write some good things. Even though it never did catch on selling I think one day it will... when people know what I wrote.Inch - Leroy InchSugarfootInch Bonner Album Tracks 1. Try a Little Tenderness 2. Sometimes I Cry 3. Skinny 4. Try to Be a Man 5. Boardwalkin' 6. Call Me 7. Sitting on the Dock of the Bay 8. It Takes a While 9. Hard to Love Your Brother 10. Just Me 11. Try a Little Tenderness (12Inch Version)

I don't believe that love can save the world, but I think tenderness might have a chance, says Melanie Valera, the throbbing heart and head philosopher of the solo band, Tender Forever, and a native of France recently transplanted to Olympia, WA. Though a native in the language of love, Valera skips the French and goes straight for the English jugular on this debut full-length, with twelve songs that spell out the ups and downs of FEELING IT, in capitalized and crushing detail. Her lyrics are fearless; the raw directness of her wording matches the raw quality of the accompanying music. Gently aching acoustic guitar songs alternate with elaborately exploding multi-track concoctions vocal harmonies sandwich up with synthesizers, lay themselves down softly on layers of singing girls, then get pounded with live and machine drums. There's an undeniable power to Valera's energy that supports her philosophy there really is something special about letting oneself be revealed. Album Tracks 1. Every Monday 2. Take It Off 3.
