Be What You Are

CD-Charts > Music > Stax
by: The Staple Singers

Release Date November 07, 1991
The Staple Singers enjoyed a brief spell when their popularity reached beyond the Soul fraternity and into the Pop charts and thus they are well known for a few classic singles. One of those appears here, "If You're Ready(Come and Go with Me)" and it gives you an idea of the quality contained in this album.

With a resolutely Southern Soul feel, this represents the best album the Staples ever recorded. While it seemed the rest of the Stax roster were busy extending the boundaries of Black music, the Staples kept faith with the elements of the music which had elevated the label to pre-eminance in the 60's. So you won't find overblown orchestration, or proto-disco here. What you will find are magnificent lead vocals (Mavis Staples ... Read More:

Live Wire/Blues Power: Albert King Live at the Fillmore 1968/Remastered

CD-Charts > Music > Stax
by: Albert King

Release Date July 02, 2001
These are my most-listened-to guitar solos. All his albums are good, and all have memorable moments but, like most blues guitarists, his guitar-playing is much better than his singing and his songs; here he does what he does best, and there are no better examples of it ( though most of his 3 tracks on the Montreux festival album, with Chico Hamilton and Little Milton, are on a par - note: that's a different album from Albert's own 'Blues at Sunrise:live at Montreux', which is also essential). This is a pleasure from start to finish; far from finding my mind wandering and wishing for a catchier tune, every note of this hypnotises me. This is a master-class in not only blues guitar, but in the essence of music; every phrase seems part of every ... Read More:
