Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars) 4.5 stars

4 stars Great arrangements, great material
My headline leaves out one "great" - Soul Brother Number One himself - his voice is simply not up for the occasion, and at times the shouts, screeches, and moans are almost embarrassingly incongruous. This kind of excess almost ruins a sensitive social statement "The Man In The Glass" (the new extended version); "Papa's..Bag" (with Mr. Parker!) similarly needed some post-production edits. But overall, there is much brilliance: "What Kind Of Fool Am I?", "It's Magic", "I Need Your Key" and others are *together* and ofcourse transcend any radio station format designations.

5 stars don't miss this one !!!!
When JAzz meets the brother of the Soul Music, that gives this magic album : Soul on Top!!!!!! With Oliver Nelson (cond.), Maceo Parker, Jimmy Cleveland, Ray Brown, Louie Bellson... No violin, don't worry; Extravagant, turmoil... A music that Quentin Tarantino would not skip. Don't miss it !

VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD  (2002)

Soul On Top album
CD $6.39  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine." Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously ...

A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive rock fans lamenting the modern era's relative lack of ...

James Brown Live At The Apollo 1962 CD  (1963) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Soul On Top music CDs
CD $6.39  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Recorded live at the Apollo Theater, New York, New York on October 24, 1962. Includes liner notes by Harry Weinger, Alan Leeds, and original release liner notes by Hal Neely. Many albums are hyped as legendary; few deserve the accolade. LIVE AT THE APOLLO 1962 is one of those rare albums that lives up to the hype. Released despite label misgivings, LIVE AT THE APOLLO cemented James Brown's reputation as the unchallenged master of soul music. Deejays played the entire album at one stretch--this in an era when radio programmers rejected four-minute singles because they were too long--and the record reached number two on the Billboard pop chart, a previously unheard-of achievement for a gritty R&B album. LIVE AT THE APOLLO is more than a pop phenomenon, however; it is a document of one of America's greatest performers at the peak of his artistic powers. Brown's singing is orgasmic--just listen to the opening ...

While MUSICALLY RICH...AND FAMOUS documents the second half of British blues godfather Alexis Korner's career, KORNERSTONED adopts a more comprehensive approach, following the pioneering singer/guitarist from the very beginning of his musical life, all the way through every subsequent phase of his development. So we get not only his mid-1960s ...
