A Groovy Situation is the fourth album by American organist Reuben Wilson recorded in 1970 and released on the Blue Note label.[2] The CD reissue added one bonus track.
Reception
[edit]The AllMusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album three stars and wrote, "With songs like this, there's no question that Wilson is going for a wide audience, and while these smooth, funky grooves will do nothing for jazz purists, it's an entertaining record, and some of the grooves are quite hot indeed".[3]
