Free Music Notes for The Best Of Joe & Eddie
Free Music Review: I still cried
Hit: 5 Stars
I had only one of Joe & Eddie's first albums when I went to hear them in a nightclub in Georgetown, but that was just a start. They were magical. I was sitting about 10 feet away and was completely mesmerized. Their energy was incredible and they held every person in that club spellbound. When they did, "The First Time" I don't think I even took a breath. In "Sing Hallelujah" their voices start like a stream and build to Niagara Falls carrying us with them. No one has ever duplicated their intensity. They sang Gospel with incredible passion and I'm sure heaven is a livelier place since Joe arrived. They had a unique sound that needs to be preserved for future generations. It's hard to believe that they wouldn't be recognized again if this CD got more play. If they can bring back the very questionable 70's, surely they can bring back Joe & Eddie! I'm glad that a number of "second generation" fans have written reviews.Their voices blended perfectly and Joe's voice brings tears to my eyes. His tenor is so clear and pure. This is a good mix of their best songs, but I agree with the others; there are many songs left out. They do one of the best renditions of "Kisses Sweeter than Wine" with apologies to Jimmy Dean. Surely someone can put the rest of their songs on other CDs. I like the idea of a website. There is precious little about them available. There is an interview with Eddie Brown ...and there are comments by Joe's sister and the widow of their high school voice coach which are very interesting, but that it about it.
The insert tells of Joe Gilbert's death and I cried all over again. It doesn't seem possible that such an incredible voice could be silenced. I remember how devastated I was when I heard he had been killed. Joe didn't live an easy life and it may have been for the best but it seems wrong that such an incredible talent could have been housed in such a fragile vessel. I can hardly listen to "The Things I've Saved" without tears. I think he must have had a premonition. He made magic when he was with us and I should be grateful for that, but it still brings me to tears.
I'm glad to hear that Eddie Brown continued in the music world. His voice is outstanding, especially in "I'm a Drifter." I am glad that he didn"t try to replace Joe. I would never want to belittle his incredible talent, but once you heard them sing together something would always be missing. Their partnership was something rare and beautiful and they brought a great deal of pleasure to millions. This CD brings that pleasure all over again. I couldn't recommend it more!
