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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51839035408689,"sku":"199284464773","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/4456172-3446719.jpg?v=1758034361","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/don-was-groove-in-the-face-of-adversity","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
