On I'LL TREAT YOU RIGHT, the too often overlooked Clay continues to make the same sort of Memphis-style soul music that he made in the late '60s and early '70s. He deserves the thanks of a grateful nation: this is superior stuff. Backed once again by the members of the deservedly legendary Hi Records house band (the same guys whose grooves were a crucial component of Al Green's best-known records), Clay continues to impress here as a latter-day Otis Redding. He's in very good form on the preachy "Children Gone Astray," the very funny "Thanks a Lot," (one of his rare straight blues performances), and the epic confessional "Gonna Take My Heart's Advice Tonight." Everything else is merely terrific.
