2 LPs on 1 CD: SWEET SOUL MUSIC (1967)/SHAKE, RATTLE & ROLL (1967).
Liner Note Authors: Bob Rolontz; Otis Redding.
Recording information: Fame Recordings Studios, Muscle Shoals, AL.
Photographer: James J. Kreigsmann.
Casual soul fans know Arthur Conley from his smash hit from 1967, "Sweet Soul Music," a bubbling ode to soul giants like his mentor Otis Redding, Lou Rawls, Wilson Pickett, and Sammy Davis, Jr. (?). Collectables' 2004 compilation of Conley's 1967 releases (Sweet Soul Music and Shake Rattle & Roll) seeks to shed some light on Conley's other work. Sadly, there isn't much going on, as Conley is quite derivative and lightweight. His vocals switch between aping Otis and channeling Sam Cooke (check out his take on "Shake, Rattle & Roll" for the most obvious Cooke homage), and the tunes that aren't covers rarely stick. It is pleasant enough, to be sure, and there are some gems sprinkled throughout, like the driving "Love Got Me" and the sweet ballad "You Don't Have to See Me," but a best-of collection would have served Conley and soul fans better, maybe even a reissue of Ichiban's solid and out of print Sweet Soul Music: The Best of Arthur Conley. ~ Tim Sendra

Customer Sweet Soul Music/Shake, Rattle & Roll Reviews 




Average Rating: (3.5 out of 5 stars) 3.5 stars

3 stars Second Tier Memphis Soul
Produced by Otis Redding in Muscle Shoals with what sounds suspiciously like the complete Stax house band, this 2 for 1 set reprises a number of good, albeit second tier, 60s soul classics (Sweet Soul Musiv, Shake Rattle and Roll). Many of the songs were written by Redding who also produced. Throughout one asks the question as to what would the songs have sounded like if Otis rather than Arthur took the lead.

4 stars Otis Redding's prodigy shines
This is an often overlooked album, but has some great songs such as I Can't Stop and Who's Fooling Who. Certainly his voice isn't as gruff or powerful as Otis, but then only a handful of artists are. Arthur sounds like the missing link between Sam Cooke and Otis Redding- a great testament to Redding's vision. Only let down by too many covers and ballads (thats where Otis always excelled), but otherwise a worthy addition to any Stax/Atlantic fan.

A big chunk of the pop audience Joni Mitchell had earned with Court and Spark in 1974 deserted her in 1975 and 1976 when the follow-ups, The Hissing of Summer Lawns and Hejira, proved more difficult works. With this pretentious double album, Mitchell lost many of the loyal fans who'd stuck with her from the beginning but who now, as she spread her obscure poetic observations and thin melodies across whole sides of the album, found her disengaged ...
