Don Was steps out from behind the boards with Groove In The Face Of Adversity, a record that radiates seasoned cool and unshakable musical joy.

Originally released in 1983, this solo outing from the Was (Not Was) co-founder captures a moment when funk, soul, and studio wizardry collided with playful ambition. Known for his production work with icons across genres, Was uses this album to flex his own artistic voice - one rooted in groove-first philosophy and a deep love for rhythm-driven storytelling.

Tracks like Out Come The Freaks and Wheel Me Out pulse with off-kilter funk energy and sly humor, while Tell Me That I’m Dreaming leans into smoother, synth-laced soul textures. The arrangements feel loose but intentional, blending live instrumentation with early-80s studio experimentation in a way that’s both quirky and infectious.

This vinyl pressing revives a cult-favorite gem that thrives on personality as much as musicianship. Groove In The Face Of Adversity is less about polish and more about feel - a reminder that even in uncertain times, the groove remains undefeated, and Don Was knows exactly how to keep it moving.
