A Bounty Of Soul For All Souls! September 14, 2008
Tyrone Williams (Canton, Ohio United States)
Of the many stellar albums the Isley Brothers put out during their 3+3 era (1973 to 1984), Harvest For The World, in my opinion, is a slightly deeper album. Sure, it packs just as much soul power & passion as the I.B. albums that came before or after it, but on this one, I think the Isleys were reaching for something more - and achieved it.
The album opens with the "Harvest For The World Prelude" - a slower, more expressive version of the album's theme with Ron Isley vocalizing pleas for healing, to "Gather every man & woman...Give thanks for your children." This is soul from the soul.
Both the title track & "People Of Today" speak out about the social fustrations of the early 70's - Watergate, Poverty, Racism, Nixon, Unemployment - many of the same issues we face today, but above all, they express the need for healing - the "Harvest".
"Who Loves You Better" is a fuzz-guitar/clavinet funkfest with Chris Jasper doing some Stevie Wonder-ish clavinet work and Ernie Isley churning out one of his trademark extended a-la-Hendrix guitar solos.
Next, you get 2(of the many)classic Isley slow jams - "(At Your Best) You Are Love" & "Let Me Down Easy". "At Your Best..." remains a staple of quiet storm radio and was beautifully covered by Aaliyah(R.I.P.).
The album closes with the funk/rock of "So You Wanna Stay Down" & "You Still Feel the Need".
With "Harvest For The World", you get the Pride & Passion the Isley Brothers are famous for...and a little bit more.
A very socially conscious Isley's album! July 15, 2008
Eric Robinson (DETROIT, MI)
This is more of a Fight the Power pt. 2 album. The Isley's basically touched up on the greedy politicians and just wealthy people in general who have it all and not enough being spreaded around for everyone else to prosper in the world. The title pretty much speaks for itself. Ronald and his brothers were on point on this one. Another great Isley's classic.

will power (BELTSVILLE ,MD)
Harvest for the World is another ISLEY classic ,this soul-funk group was on a serious run during this period ,they touched on the pulse of Black America ,infusing funk ,ballads and the MESSAGE of love and peace,this album and the LIVE IT UP album are favorites of mine, great slow jams ,strong grooves, if you are a collector of classic soul this is essential ...a TIMELESS classic.
