King Of Soul Music Review

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

5 stars one of the most sharp-edged R&B voices!
Don Covay is a hit song-writer for other artists AND one of the greatest rhythm and blues singers of all time. His vocals are as sharp and knife. Even the cheapest of microphones would ever fail to project this amazing voice. Based on the sound of this CD I think the recordings my have been copied from records and not master tapes. You can hear some pops and clicks. But don't let this stop you from enjoying the music. It is all first-rate, entirely enjoyable. These 1970s recordings of Covay amaze me because he clearly intended to sound more like a heavy deep-soul sound when every other R&B singer were cashing in on disco. Not Don, he seems to be a soul purist who saw that the deep soul sound had far more to be discovered than his contemporaries cared to search for.

Johnny Otis 1945-1947 CD (2002)

King Of Soul album

$18.05

Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents the very beginning of Johnny Otis' recording career. With one apparently unobtainable exception, the Classics Blues & Rhythm Series has assembled all of Otis' Excelsior recordings, made in Los Angeles between 1945 and 1947. This provides background and context for his more well-known Savoy material, and indeed for everything this ...

J J Jackson But It's Alright CD (1967)

King Of Soul songs

$9.95

Soul belter J.J. Jackson is best known for his 1967 smash, "But It's Alright," but he has some fine singles and a couple of excellent albums as well, and 1967's But It's Alright on the Calla label is one of them. Kicking off with the infectious title track, the record alternates between flat-out rockers like "I Dig Girls," "Come See Me (I'm Your Man)" (which was written by Jackson, covered by the Pretty Things, and then reclaimed powerfully here), and "Boogaloo Baby," midtempo groovers like "You've Got Me Dizzy" and "The Stones ...

Hundred Reasons Ideas Above Our Station CD (2002) Bonus Track; Japan

King Of Soul CD music

$36.09
IDEAS ABOVE OUR STATION, the 2002 release from British heavy metal group Hundred Reasons, features "Answers" and "Dissolve." Another day and another heavily hyped major-label U.K. band careening down an unfashionable path. The passion of Hundred Reasons on Ideas Above Our Station seems completely honest, but the group is traversing territory that's been pretty clearly marked by U.S. bands from Fugazi to At the Drive-In as well as U.K. acts like Manic Street Preachers and Idlewild. It's very difficult to make a successful serious hard rock album with lyrics best reserved for teen diaries. Track titles like "Drowning," "Falter," and "Dissolve" should be an instant warning that the members of Hundred Reasons take themselves very seriously. But where they seem to be striving for the organized chaos of "One Armed Scissor," they instead invoke comparisons to less critically approved bands like Silverchair and Bush. The album certainly rages appropriately, and fierce, edgy songs like "Shine" approach a sonic fury nearly worthy of their influences. But everything seems too arranged, too polished, and too commercial. Ideas Above Our Station probably has a built-in audience in disaffected youths ...
