The three time Grammy award winner's 80th album, is entitled Ramsey Lewis, Taking Another Look - Deluxe Edition featuring a new electric quintet with Henry Johnson on guitar, Michael Logan on keys, Joshua Ramos on bass and Charles Heath on drums. On the twelve song CD, Lewis rekindles his 1974 career-defining album 'Sun Goddess' through a collection of re-recorded tracks from the original disc perfectly balanced with five new tunes. 'Jungle Strut' has all the attitude of it's 1974 original and Lewis makes magic on the Fender Rhodes in 'Tambura.' And rather than re-recording the title track 'Sun Goddess', Lewis has beautifully re-edited the original studio recording featuring Earth, Wind, and Fire. Lewis and his Electric Band breathe new life into classic covers, such as the new high octane rendition of Stevie Wonder's 'Living For The City' and a tender interpretation of the timeless 'Betcha By Golly Wow.'
