That Memphis Sound October 9, 2008

The new release form Steve Cropper & Felix Cavaliere is proof again that Old Dogs can still stand proudly on the porch. This is a high quality R & B release with Felix's vocals taking you back to the late 60's & 70's Rascals quality. His voice is powerful and Cropper's economical style of play make for an excellent combination. The Horns and the background vocals are a mixture of Booker T & the MGs & The Blues Brothers. The first 7 cuts are the strength of the release. I listen to them fequently. There are outstanding instumentals but you will truly enjoy the Cavaliere vocal style combined with Cropper's well known playing.
R&B is back in a very good way..... October 4, 2008
Felix is one of the best singer/songwriter blue eyed soul artists around. He only gets better through the years.With so much crap out there this CD is one of the best to come along in a very long time. Cropper and Cavaliere are a great match and this is well worth buying.

I usually go into a purchase of old-timers expecting a lot. Sometimes I don't; take the Stones for example. I no longer expect anything from them that could come near the output in their first 20 years.
But here I haven't really heard much from Felix Cavaliere since the Rascals heyday. Admittedly I was partial to Eddie Brigati's vocals but still I was a Rascals fan. As to Steve Cropper, I've always been a fan of his. What better then than a coupling of a couple of old audio friends.
I've listened to this a number of times, as I'm doing now. What I can not shake is the feeling that I'm listening to an inferior version of Was (Not Was). All of the songs are listenable but there is nothing that I want to put on my own CD mixes. That is how I listen most to music these days. I'm afraid that this disc is soon moving to the storage room, rarely to be played again.
Even with their latest ("Boo"), Was (Not Was) has a couple of mix worthy songs. Instrumentally "Nudge" is first rate but the vocals pale in comparison to Sweet Pea Atkinson or Sir Harry Bowens.
I wouldn't say don't buy it. But if you do, go in with a not so lofty expectation.
R & B is finally back September 16, 2008

every fan of great soul music should own this cd. i did a two hour radio show using this cd as the core. around it i played booker t & the mg's, otis, sam & dave, & the rascals. it all fit seamlessly because steve cropper and felix cavaliere were the originators of that music (along with others). this cd has the chops and the grooves. it clearly is in the running for best album of the year and should win some sort of grammy.
