"This is the best Otis Redding album I've heard personally. Though I like "Otis Blue", this one is just better in my opinion track-for-track. The unbelievably spectacular opening track almost overshadows the rest of the album with its sheer power and attention it commands, but especially on repeat..."  [+]  Reply

"This is a perfect example of how Blakey can spot a good composition, make it swing, and get his soloists to attack it with both cohesiveness and verve. While most Blakey albums are memorable for Blakey himself, and he's in fine form here, it's really the brass in the front like that steals the sh..."  [+]  Reply

"An excellent follow-up to their smashing debut. A couple of the songs are a little sappy and dull, but Shooting Star, Good Lovin' Gone Bad, Deal With The Preacher and Feel Like Makin' Love are all top notch, as evidenced by the fact that they are in regular rotation on classic rock stations 40 ye..."  [+]  Reply
