Free Music Notes for The SAR Records Story - 2 Pack Box Set W/Booklet
Free Music Review: Fine Music and Great Insight.
Hit: 5 Stars
Apart from containing a lot of fine music, this two CDs box gives great insight into the musical ideas of Sam Cooke and documents his invalueable influence on the transforming of gospel and blues into soul-music.
Only a handful of these tracks has Sam Cooke himself as performer, but he is behind the whole things as the producer and in many cases also as the writer of the songs.
A couple of years after his big break-through Sam Cooke started his own recording label SAR, and for five years he produced recordings for artists like the Soul Stirrers, The Womack Brothers, Billy Preston, Johnnie Taylor and a lot of other black artists.
The music spans from pure pop, through gospel and soul to what we today recognise as soul-music. A nice surprise for me was the many great tracks with the Soul Stirrers, a group I only knew from their early recordings with Sam Cooke. I did not not know either that Sam Cooke wrote "Mary Don't You Weep" which was a big hit in my native Denmark - with silly new Danish lyrics.
A favourite that has to be brought forward is the Simms Twins' version of "That's Where it's At" which Cooke himself also recorded.
The included 88 pages book has a lot of interesting background information about Cooke's musical ideas and personality.
The SAR Records Story - 2 Pack Box Set W/Booklet Poster
For a few years during the early 1960s, Sam Cooke, the man with the golden croon, ran his own small record label, SAR Records. In addition to aiding the career of the post-Cooke Soul Stirrers, SAR unleashed an impressive array of talent--Bobby Womack and the Valentinos, Lou Rawls and the Pilgrim Travelers, and a young organist named Billy Preston. The singles they cut for his label are here, alongside unreleased demos from Cooke such as a spare, transporting take of "That's Heaven to Me." Story presents much evidence of the Soul Stirrers' continued greatness with Jimmie Outler as lead singer. And the tracks by R.H. Harris & His Gospel Paraders are stone groove gospel-soul cuts. Disc 2 presents the secular material, with solid jazz-funk cuts alongside swell pop-soul numbers. To top it all off, the packaging is deluxe, the notes informative, and the remastering first-rate. --Mike McGonigalChristian & Gospel Music CDs
