RAISE UP

Although Larry Graham hasn't released an album in 14 years, he never stopped touring or writing. Raise Up marks his return to the studio with the kind of energizing, positive funk the bassist's fans expect. In addition to a fresh batch of songs, there's an adventurous take on Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground." Graham and his Graham Central Station cover themselves by updating "It's Alright" (1975) and "Now Do U Wanta Dance" (1977), and they also "re-cover" Al Green's "It Ain't No Fun to Me" (originally covered in 1974).
