A Groovy Situation


A Groovy Situation is the fourth album by American organist Reuben Wilson recorded in 1970 and released on the Blue Note label. The CD reissue added one bonus track.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album three stars and wrote, "With songs like this, there's no question that Wilson is going for a wide audience, and while these smooth, funky grooves will do nothing for jazz purists, it's an entertaining record, and some of the grooves are quite hot indeed".
