Description

The soundtrack to the 1968 Jules Dassin movie of the same name, the album reflects, through the score of Booker T. Jones, the story of a young black man living in the ghetto during the turbulant time after the assassination of Martin Luther King, jr. Containing the hit single "Time Is Tight," the songs move from soft and contemplative ("Children, Don't Get Weary") to driving and urgent ("Run Tank Run"). Though not one of their better albums, Uptight does contain the always exemplary musicianship that the MGs brought to a record and it pre-dates both the Superfly and Shaft soundtracks by three years.
