The Cisco Kid (album)

The Cisco Kid is an album by American jazz organist Reuben Wilson recorded in 1973 and released on the Groove Merchant label.

Reception

Allmusic's Jason Ankeny said: "Reuben Wilson's second Groove Merchant session, The Cisco Kid, pairs the organist with a murderer's-row support unit ... Given the talent involved, it's regrettable that the album adheres to such a pedestrian formula, reimagining the same pop and soul covers as virtually every other jazz-funk session issued at the time".
