Latimore
“Let's Straighten It Out” (Glades) 1974
by Wax Poetics
A massive hit upon its release and a definitive document of the mid-’70s Miami sound, Latimore’s “Let’s Straighten It Out” borrows something from Willie Mitchell‘s understated aesthetic but nonetheless manages to stake out its own distinctly Floridian musical territory. Latimore’s chiming, tentative keys lazily struggle against a molasses-slow bass pattern to effortlessly evoke the muggy stillness of a Florida night.
