From East Memphis To Kingston - Soul Revisited... -- CD

Various Artists

1999 Ugly Man International (Promo Use Only Stamp on Cover)

Fresh take on Memphis sound, June 17, 2000
By Tim Alderton (Red Lake, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From East Memphis to Kingston (Audio CD)

With the Memphis sound entering its fifth decade, this cover by various reggae artists brings freshness and verve to a genre that refuses to fade. Jack Radics/Red Dragon version of Soul Man rekindles the energy of Sam and Dave's original and Third World's cover of Respect demands just that. Perfect choice to accompany a summer barbeque - pass the hot sauce.

2. Respect Yourself - Third World
3. I Don't Want To Be With Nobody But You - Ericia Newell
4. Tired Of Being Alone - Toots & The Maytals
5. Soul Man - Jack Radics & Red Dragon
6. I Betcha Didn't Know That - Chaka Demus & Pliers
7. I've Been Lonely For So Long - Stingers
8. I Can't Stand The Rain - Brian & Tony Gold
9. Shelter In Time Of Storm - Richie Stephens
10. Take Me To The River - Tyrone Taylor
11. Hold On I'm Coming - Chalice

Streetlights -- CD

Bonnie Raitt

1974/1990 ? Warner Bros. Records

Haunting, Moving, Her Best, January 18, 2001
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Streetlights (Audio CD)

I'm SHOCKED that anyone has rated this album anything lower than five stars. This album is haunting, moving, unexpected . . . and well worth having in your collection. It's a record you can listen to again and again, from start to finish, and with every rotation, you'll notice or feel something you missed the time before.

"That Song About the Midway" (Joni Mitchell) – 4:44
"Rainy Day Man" (James Taylor, Zachary Weisner) – 3:41
"Angel from Montgomery" (John Prine) – 3:59
"I Got Plenty" (Joey Levine, Jim Carroll) – 3:09
"Streetlights" (Bill Payne) – 5:05
"What Is Success" (Allen Toussaint) – 3:32
"Ain't Nobody Home" (Jerry Ragovoy) – 3:04
"Everything That Touches You" (Michael Kamen) – 3:28
"Got You on My Mind" (David Lasley, Allee Willis) – 3:50
"You Got to Be Ready for Love (If You Wanna Be Mine)" (Lou Courtney) – 3:08
 
With thanks to Heeman for the tip...

Supply and Demand -- CD

Amos Lee

2006 Blue Note Records

Amazon.com

Born to be mild? Amos Lee's sophomore effort for Blue Note follows firmly in the gentle guitar strums of his well-received 2005 debut and opening slots for Norah Jones and Bob Dylan. Little has changed the second time around, which will come as a relief to those enthralled by his first release. He remains a sensitive sort, mixing his insightful, reflective lyrics with lovely, unforced melodies played by backing musicians that stay on low boil. These tunes go down as smoothly as hot chocolate on a cold day, yet Lee brings an unassuming sincerity to the proceedings with his cozy, amiable voice. Comparisons to Bill Withers and James Taylor are accurate if inevitable, but when the gospel organ quivers into "Skipping Stone," it's clear Lee isn't stuck in a folk-pop rut.

Lee's approach is similar to the way Keb' Mo' treats the blues--he injects his cushy personality into an established genre, writes good if somewhat casual songs, and doesn't push the envelope too far. The final third of the album is perhaps too mellow, and a few midtempo tracks could have perked things up. But adult-contemporary fans looking for dependable Sunday morning music will welcome Supply and Demand as a quality follow-up brimming with subtle soul, style, and sophistication. --Hal Horowitz
