More Lou Rawls
Well Recorded Albums that Should Be More Popular with Audiophiles
Well Recorded Soul. RnB, Blues, Etc. Albums – The Core Collection
- Lou Rawls Live! is an amazing recording that really comes to life on the best Hot Stamper pressings
- The songs are fantastic, the musicians are brilliant, the sound is superb – Stormy Monday & Tobacco Road are highlights, but really, there’s not a bad track here
- If you could only have one Lou Rawls album, no question it would have to be this one – everything that’s good about the man’s music is fully on display
- 4 stars: “Lou Rawls gives a riveting performance on Live!, covering standards from Basie/Rushing’s tambourine-jumpin’ ‘Goin’ to Chicago’ to T-Bone Walker’s foot-stompin’ ‘Stormy Monday,’ and whole lot in between.”
What an album! For live soul-infused vocals, we know of none better. (more…)
