Capsule review: Solomon Burke - Soul alive (1983)


'Are you with me?!'
'Gee, Solomon, I just wandered in here.'
'Are you with me?!'
'I'll give it a try.'
'Are you with me?!'
'Guess so.'
'Are you with me?!'
You're kinda getting into my personal space.'
'Are you with me?!'
FUCK. OFF. SOLOMON. BURKE.
Solomon Burke is a selfish lover.

Capsule review: Solomon Burke - Don't give up on me (2002)


Kinda reminds me of that brief window in time when Santana's Supernatural drifted out of every window in town, but that's the only downside to this remarkable triumph. Elderly music legends (and I include the songwriters) have no business being this good. If it keeps up, we'll have to listen to new Rolling Stones album to determine how boring they are.
So that's two downsides.
I might prefer the record to Burke's '60s records. Really. Some might say it's Madame Tussauds '60s soul. I say, wax on.
