Excellent rendition of a soul music icon's finest work. This is probably the best recording to capture the essence of Solomon Burke. Exceptional from first cut to last.

I think Solomon did himself justice with this porduction. I like the fact that he is surrounding himself with younger players and trying new things! I hated that Wilson Picket never hooked up in the same way when he made what became his final CD. I was always a bigger fan of Wilson's but Solomon shows that we should not give up on him! It's worth buying a copy is you find it used. I'm not sure I woudl have bought it new.
If you like music that touches your soul then you will enjoy this CD. A lifetime of experience and a talent that is rare makes Mr. Burke one of the greats. If you like Otis Redding, Al Greene or Sam & Dave then buy this CD, pop it in the player and enjoy the ride. Beginning to end this is CD is packed full of quality musicianship, crafted vocals and a truck load of soul.
I was watching "House" on TV and heard a song that I was immediately taken by. The song was "None of us are free." A mezmerizing song. So, I went on line to Ebay and found the album with the song. The entire album is delightful. Solomon Burke is a legend from the past. And still a plesure to hear. Entire album is beautiful.
I heard this on The O.C. TV series and have been in love with Don't give up on Me ever since. So glad to have it now
