Title: Withstands the test of time
Review: The first time I listened to this (on cassette), I met a beautiful woman. Four years later, we gave copies of the record to everyone in our wedding party. Now our son has the cd. This is the album that introduced me to Big Joe Turner, and while I now own virtually recording he made, this is the disc that gets played the most, 25 years later. It's the best late-night album I know--not as background music, but to listen to the way you'd listen to old friends. The recording is intimate, and while it's true that Joe and the Count make it sound as if the music is theirs, when Joe says, "Come on, Count," and "Make it church-y," he's inviting us in.
Is the review positive or negative?
