Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky)
| Aretha FranklinHey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky)
Hey Now Hey (The Other Side of the Sky) is the nineteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Aretha Franklin. Released on June 25, 1973 by Atlantic Records, It was the first Atlantic album by Aretha to miss the Top 25 of the album chart. (It peaked at #30.) This album was originally planned to be a straight jazz album with songs like "Moody's Mood" and "Just Right Tonight", but producers Franklin and Quincy Jones took a detour and produced songs like "Mister Spain" and the title cut. Notable songs include the #1 R&B and Top 20 Pop single "Angel" written by Aretha's younger sister, Carolyn Franklin, as well as a cover of "Somewhere" which features Franklin on piano and Phil Woods on alto saxophone. This recording was reissued on compact disc through Rhino Records in the 1990s. The song "Master of Eyes" was included as the 10th track on the reissue. Even though it was a single, it was not included on the first release.

Review Year: 1973 The album closes with a sultry big band blues that, while well-executed, seems irrelevant to me.

Review Year: 2018 While it drew a complicated boundary in the sand for how many perceived her varied musical aspirations after the early 1970s, it’s sorely overdue for critical reappraisal as one of the great, lost gems in her distinguished catalog.
