Title: the emperor is wearing no clothes!
Product review: I've heard so much hype about the soulful sounds of this awesome group that I went and bought both of their albums. Imagine my surprise when I finally heard this. These guys are like a wedding band! Rachael has a decent voice, but Tina Turner she is NOT! It probably doesn't help that my record collection includes many of the songs they are covering here so I am abundantly aware of the fact that these versions don't stack up. If you want to hear REAL soul music check out the "Pow City", "The Get It" and "Downtown Soulsville" comps on Crypt. If hearing super soulful female singers is your bag check out "Men Are Like Street Cars" double CD on MCA - you'll get 46 tracks that make the Detroit Cobras sound like the white bar band they are.
