The album, which features collaborations with artists including Jeff Beck, Bootsy Collins, Ray Manzarek, Ann Wilson and more, has received a three-star review in Rolling Stone! The magazine wrote, “Of prime interest are three new songs – a brass-and-organ-driven take on the gospel standard “His Eye Is on the Sparrow” and two originals: the gutbucket funk of “Plain Jane” and “Get Away,” a gorgeous soul vamp with a refrain – “Keep singin’ that melody!” – that whets the appetite for a full-fledged Sly comeback. “

Drummer Carmine Appice Discusses Recording For Sly Stone
The Morton Report has published an interview with drummer Carmine Appice, who talked about recording for Sly Stone’s new album, “I’m Back! Family & Friends,” which will be released on August 16th. “They gave me a couple of song choices. So we did ‘Stand!’ and it went great,” he said. “I actually had Sly’s voice singing in my ears. He wasn’t in the studio with me, just on the tape. They did a basic track with a basic drum machine or drummer, and then they actually gave out the track that way with Sly’s voice on it.
