More review coming soon.
This CD was as good as advertised-- I love it! The service was prompt and efficient, delivery was longer than I'd wish for, but to be expected due to the distance and priority selected. Thank you.
Years ago by the score I heard the title number sung by this great star, and it made my hair stand on end, the way all great music does. From then (back in vinyl days)on, I checked out and sometimes bought new discs with his name attached. Once I even heard an original or early version by one of the older blues singers. Great, but only made me wish I could hear Sam again. I sickened m y friends going on about Sam Cooke and Good News - until of course came the Net and cybermarketing. In seconds, of course, all the info was up on screen and in days the disc on my player.
Sam combined the eternal spirit of the blues (cf. Terry & McGhee)with the clean-cut high-school junior prom image purveyed by countless movies of the fifties - in 'Cupid, draw back your bow' for example. Apart from the nostalgia, though, 'Good News' still does it for me. The spare-room-studio sound, the pure, innocent, earthy, tender, animal joy of the whole thing.
So - thanks
Chris
I cannot speak enough about this album.
I am a suburban, white teenager, who listens to alternative music. Two weeks ago, I had no idea who Sam Cooke even was. But I picked this album up on a recommendation, and I was blown away. The sound quality is beautiful, much better than most of the mp3s out. The songs themselves are beautiful--nearly indescribable.
If you are casual lis tener (as I was) trying to see what Sam Cooke was all about, by all means pick up this album. Its price, coupled with the selection of Cooke's best songs (as my friend, the self proclaimed "expert in soul" claims) makes it a steal. If you know a bit more about Cooke, and able to throw down more money, I would definitely go for the box sets. Either way, this album will not disappoint.
Actually, I erred. While I wholeheartedly recommend this album, I'd check out the Keep Movin' On soundtrack as someone has mentioned. Equal in quality, just more songs for the buck. If your mom bought you this though, dont despair, this album is masterful.
