A new Sly Stone album! Well, kinda. His first new release since 1982 is basically a Sly Plays Sly tribute album, in which the reclusive funk genius pairs up with classic-rock \"friends\" (Ray Manzarek, Ann Wilson) to rerecord his greatest hits. The results are spunky, if unnecessary: Why bother with Sly and Jeff Beck\'s remake of \"(I Want to Take You) Higher\" when you can listen to the torrid original? Of prime interest are three new songs – a brass-and-organ-driven take on the gospel standard \"His Eye Is on the Sparrow\" and two originals: the gutbucket funk of \"Plain Jane\" and \"Get Away,\" a gorgeous soul vamp with a refrain – \"Keep singin\' that melody!\" – that whets the appetite for a full-fledged Sly comeback.
