Pioneering soul man Percy Sledge returned in 2004 with Shining Through the Rain, his first new studio date since 1994's Grammy-nominated album, Blue Night. While nothing here is a surprise, Sledge's vocal range remains evident as he effortlessly conveys his patented smooth, controlled passion. Generally, these 13 tracks are made up of country-soul ballads from the pens of Steve Earle, the Bee Gees, Barry Goldberg, Carla Olson, Jackie Lomax, and Mikael Rickfors. The two uptempo tunes, "24 -- 7 -- 365" and "Big Blue Diamonds," the latter a duet with Paul Jones, have a definite Stax/Volt vibe that nicely rounds out this fine contemporary deep soul outing. ~ Al Campbell

Rolling Stone (No. 966, p.62) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "[S]hows that sixty-two-year-old Percy Sledge can still locate the emotional essence of a song....[an] easy-grooving record..."

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars Good for what ails you.
Percy Sledge has been one of the best blues singers in the business for more than forty years and listening to him is still a pleasure. He makes his way through country, rock and blues with a band that just love what they do. Percy delivers the goods once again.

4 stars Warm and Tender Percy
It may be 10 years since Percy Sledge's last release on Pointblank but little has thankfully changed - Southern soul at it's best - same producers, same arrangements. The highlight is Bobby Moore's "Searchin' for My baby'. The low light is the inclusion of Paul Jones ex Manfred Mann as guest vocalist who adds nothing. Percy doing what he does best - singing soul.

Digitally remastered reissue of the West Coast band's acclaimed 1968 debut album Sweetwater were an unusual eight piece aggregation whose budding career was cruelly cut short by tragedy. Formed out of coffee house jams in LA under the benign eye of Roger McGuinn's sometime cowriter Harvey Gerst, Sweetwater played a fresh and happening fusion of Psychedelia, Jazz and Classical music. Their first album, produced by the great Dave Hassinger, established them as a force to be reckoned with, and landed them tours with The Doors and Eric Burdon and The Animals, and in time the coveted opening slot on the Woodstock festival (though they ended up going on later thanks to backstage shenanigans). In December 1969 it all came skidding to a halt, as 20 year old singer Nansi Nevins was involved in a serious car smash, which left her in a coma with severe brain trauma and damaged vocal cords, necessitating years of therapy. 11 tracks. Rev-Ola. 2009. Personnel: R.G. Carlyle, R.G. Carlyle (vocals, guitar, bongos); Albert B. Moore (vocals, flute); Alex Delzoppo (vocals, keyboards); Fred Herrera, Nanci Nevins (vocals); August ...
