Dit kwartet uit North Carolina heeft helaas maar één album mogen opnemen, dat is deze. Hij is uitgebracht op het label van Holland-Dozier-Holland en dat kun je horen. De productie zit prima in elkaar en het album heeft interessante nummers. Mooie ballads maar ook fijne swingende, funky nummers. De vocalen zijn in orde en ook over de instrumentatie heb ik niks aan te merken. Vooral het nummer 'I can't believe you're gone' is echt lekker! Verder zijn 'When love was a child', 'Well worth waiting for your love' en 'Livin high off the goodness of your love' ook schitterend. Helaas was het voor de Barrino Brothers veel te laat om door te breken, ten tijde van het verschijnen van dit album liepen er meerdere rechstzaken tegen Holland-Dozier-Holland. Kortom: dit album was gedoemd om te mislukken. Erg jammer allemaal. Dit album is destijds op CD uitgebracht maar slechts een beperkte aantal oplages werden geperst met als gevolg dat de CD ondertussen net zo schaars is als de LP. Erg jammer, want ik had 'm graag op CD willen hebben. Waarschijnlijk wordt het nu weer een eeuw wachten voordat dit album opnieuw wordt uitgebracht. Leuk detail: ze zijn van familie van K-Ci & Jojo en American Idol winnares Fantasia Barrino. Zie het onderstaande stukje.

Some of what was written about us is true and some isn't! Unfortunately, our album was never released in the States! When it was time for our release date, it was much too late for HDH! There were lawsuits leveled against them from their distributors, for mismanagement of funds designed to catapult their acts and support was canceled! Subsequently, we became an unknown entity and our album was pirated abroad along with other company acts! Politically, we were much too young to know if what in fact happened to HDH was their fault, or if their company's pitfall was manufactured by their distributors! In any event, we were blessed to have worked with the greatest writers and producers ever and will treasure those special memories! Thanx a bunch for getting to know our music contributions and thanx for supporting our niece, Fantasia Barrino, as well as our nephews, K-Cee and JoJo/Jodeci! Much luv & peace, Nate Barrino & the Barrino Brothers.
