Title: Throwback
Review: Back in the day, soul was a genre unto itself. Today's pop icons pretend to be soulful, and I'm sure Beyonce and Mariah Carey are what pass for Soul amongst today's record buying public. These are the teens that wrote 1 star reviews of this record based on Joss's cover of Jack White's music. If you're knocking a soul cover of a neo-punk garage band...you just don't get it. (Cover songs SHOULD be different, but that's another discussion) People that couldn't tell Joss Stone from Al Green aren't going to understand this album, but that's ok.My own expectations for this disc were pretty low, but I was pleasantly surprised. She sings with a passion beyond her years and does a fine job paying her respects to some pretty fine music. It's a record that seems out of place in today's "pop" market, but with a mix of old and new this album is a success.
