================================================================
Even closer to WAR in style. Luther has finally become the leader of the band, after Jim Walter's departure. Tim McFarland's input is minimal, in fact he was on his way out of the band. Musically, Special Pride is something new for Ballin' Jack. For the first time, we hear harmonica on some of the tracks, like "This Song" and "Try To Relax". Not to mention some female (?) backing vocals on things like "Sunday Morning" and "Special Pride". But there are plenty good moments here, like the powerful opening jam on "Try To Relax", the acoustic thing on "Two Years", the proto-Dixieland style on "Carry Me Back", and the classic title track itself.
