Free Music Notes for Midnight Mover: The Bobby Womack Collection

Hit: 5 Stars
Every now and then a brilliant tribute album is released that celebrates the music of a certain artist, group or music style, like the album "Rhythm, Country & Blues" that was produced by Don Was. I think that I've found the perfect candidate for a tribute album like that: Bobby Womack. Just listen to the wealth of material that is available on this double CD, that could be recorded with a group of musicians that deeply respect Bobby and that know his songs inside-out (there are enough of them). Bobby contributed so much to albums of e.g. Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, as a singer, songwriter, arranger and guitarist that it would only be fair to shed a new light on his vast talents on an album with close friends that would like to honour him.Free Music Review: This Brother is BADD!

Bobby I pray you read the following review: Being a personal friend of Mr. Womack's for the past 26-Years, I sincerly admit I am truly prejudice. All in all this 2-CD set of Bobby's early work is truly outstanding. However, I agree with the individual's review from Schenetady, N.Y. "Where was Daylight"?Free Music Review: All of his best - plus a few others

Womack is one of the most criminally forgotten soul men and listening to this collection will make that fact even more puzzling. He deserves far more attention than he's ever received, both from critics and the public. That said, this two-CD set casts a wide net and ends up capturing more than just his best work: mediocre and even ill-advised choices (like "Sweet Caroline" - Womack covering Neil Diamond is as lackluster in reality as it sounds in theory) are in the minority for sure, but they do pop up here and there. They can be intrusive, but this is still an enjoyable set.
However, the Womack collection put out by EMI as part of its Heart of Soul Series in 1996 offers a briefer, but more finely distilled best-of. All the highpoints are there, plus an acoustic version of "Across 110th Street" (alongside the familiar version) that is excellent and not available on "Midnight Mover." That disk is also more interested in mood than chronology; its opening one-two punch of "Daylight" and "I Can't Understand It" (both of which are also here, of course) is irresistible. The title is "The Soul of Bobby Womack: Stop On By" and since I don't see it listed at Amazon, it may be hard to find. Well worth it, though.

These 2 cds have been sitting in my system for over 2 years now...I aint even tired of listening to the brother preach and testify...this is a record that is definetly underrated. If you want to hear the truth about life...pick up the album...Bobby will break it down for you track by track...because Nobody Wants you when your down and out, and when your Across 110th Street...you might just feel some Jealous Love...comin at cha.BOBBY IS THE GREATEST SOUL SINGER OF ALL TIMES!!!!
So if your thinking about picking up some Keith Sweat, or Ki ci and Jo JO...DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME...everything you want to hear from love to politics is waiting for you on a Midnight Mover.
Great Album man! I must have for collectors of 60's and 70's soul and r&b!!!!
