During his eight-year stint with Hi Records, Syl Johnson was in the shadows of both Al Green and Ann Peebles. His albums never flew off the shelves but he could be trusted to release two or three good singles a year. By 1975, Johnson's partnership with Hi Records started to yield even more success. As this album's predecessors had Johnson vacillating between being a romantic and a wretch, "Total Explosion" explores his unrepentant side with good results. "I Only Have Love for You" is a classic Memphis shuffle and finds Johnson all but boasting about his lack of financial savvy, as he sings, all I got to give is me

The remastering by Kevin Gray is topnotch as usual. We get to hear the horns and strings soar, but not overwhelm Syl’s vocals and his rhythm section. If you dig Al Green and Ann Peebles, and the Hi Records sound, get yourself this classic Syl Johnson issue!
