In a whirlwind recording session Solomon describes the process “We were only in the studio tracking for two days, we recorded five songs one day, then we came back a month later and recorded another five songs. I had never worked with Marvin before and didn't know what to expect, so we went in and said lets do four or five songs and see what happens...I just played and sang the songs live."
"When we were talking about what kind of record to make, Marvin asked me a really interesting question, 'what didn’t I like about the last record I did?' said Solomon. ”The last record I did was a really good record, It a got GRAMMY nom and did all kinds of wonderful things for me, but the thing I didn’t like about the record in retrospect was there was just a little space for Solomon King to come in and do what he does within the framework of a real traditional record - all of the arrangements were done before, note for note, the whole idea behind it was these were Motown guys, we wanted to do a slick, blues, R&B record, so we really followed the Motown formula."
"This time with Medicine, I wanted to explore what I could do if I was given more space. Then Marvin said 'ok, you want space? Lets just do you and drums'…. I wasn’t prepared for that," says Solomon with a laugh.
