Sonny & Linda Sharrock: Paradise

One of the records we listened to at">http://blog.stereophile.com/stephenmejias/at_the_monkeyhaus/">at the Monkeyhaus last week was Sonny & Linda Sharrock's Paradise&#151a powerfully uplifting record, in my opinion. Sonny Sharrock, however, did not feel the same. In a 1989 interview with WKCR's Ben Ratliff, Sonny dismissed Paradise as being "not a good album," and attributed the album's failure to his own incompetence as a bandleader.
