Head To The Sky catches Earth, Wind & Fire in 1973, just as the band was finding the sound that would make them stars, here on CD.

Maurice White's group was still building toward superstardom, but the ingredients were clearly falling into place: tight funk grooves, Latin and jazz influences, spiritual lyrics and the soaring voice of Philip Bailey. This was the album that began pushing them toward a much wider audience, and it remains a favorite among fans who love the band's earthier early years.

The title track, "Keep Your Head To The Sky", is a graceful, uplifting soul ballad built on warm harmonies and a gently swaying rhythm. "Evil" opens the record with a slinky, percussion-rich groove, and "Build Your Nest" keeps the groove moving with tight interplay between the rhythm section and the horns.

The album stretches out with "Zanzibar", a long, adventurous piece steeped in jazz and Brazilian influences that gives the horns and rhythm section plenty of room to roam. It shows a band unafraid to follow an idea wherever it might lead.

With just six tracks, Head To The Sky is compact yet rich, a fascinating look at the band just before their mid-1970s breakthrough, and a reminder that the groundwork for their later triumphs was laid with real ambition.
