We're taking it slow and easy on this new part of Smooth Sailing. Enjoy!

Angela Bofill’s 1983 album Too Tough performed better on the charts than her previous album, Something About You. The title track became a credible dancefloor hit, peaking at number two on the Billboard Dance chart and at number five on the soul chart, although it stayed under the radar in the Netherlands.The remainder of the album has similar dance-pop songs and a few soulful ballads, like You Could Come Take Me Home, which is on this cloudcast.

“This was arguably the best Bofill production done by Narada Michael Walden.”
(Allmusic)

Bayou Paradise by brothers Will and James Ragar (re-issue on BBE) is an ode to the beauty of Southern Louisiana:
“The famous Sunshine bridge over wetlands as the sounds of migrating geese echo overhead on their journey down the Mississippi River flyway.“
(Bandcamp)
