Not ones to rest on their laurels, the pair united for a couple of records in the last decade with results one might expect from such a duo....in short, excellence!
On paper it's a dream match made in souls heaven, with iconic guitarist of Booker T and the MG's writing and recording with the legendary blue-eyed soul vocalist of The Young Rascals.
The disc lives up to the hype, with their songwriting talents smoothly intertwining and the sound remarkably fresh and energized.
Cavaliere's vocals retain his soulful phrasing and his organ recalls that old Rascal feeling, while Cropper's guitar - both as a lead and rhythm instrument - retains every bit of its defining Memphis identity.

This is an interesting pairing. Sounds pretty good--kind of Rascals retro-like.

Definitely two greats that work together.
DeleteNice. Nothing Earth-shattering, but very pleasant in an Oldies-sounding kind of way.
