Review

Entertainment Weekly (11/22/96, p.139) - "The bluesman's rich, molasses-smooth voice has lost none of its beauty or resilience, even though he's now in his 70s..." - Rating: A-

Title Note

Personnel: Charles Brown (vocals, piano); Etta Jones, Irene Reid (vocals); Danny Caron (guitar); Clifford Solomon (tenor saxophone); Ruth Davies (bass); Gaylord Birch (drums).

Recorded at Russian Hill Recording, San Francisco, California from November 18-20, 1994; Soundtrack Recording Studios, New York, New York on January 6 & 9, 1995.

This 1996 album was one of the last released in Charles Brown's lifetime (he died at the age of 76 in 1999). His last decade of work represented quite an upswing--besides a series of fine albums, he toured regularly on his own in clubs and on large tours opening for Bonnie Raitt. What's remarkable is that in his more than 50 years of recording, he continued to find layers of nuance within his idiosyncratic hybridization of blues and jazz. This set finds him fronting a quintet and playing a range of covers and originals. The title track is a Joe Liggins number. Other highlights include Whiting & Bullock's "When Did You Leave Heaven" (a song that Jimmy Scott made his own, which here finds its own new and appropriate character) and Buddy Johnson's "They All Say I'm the Biggest Fool." With the smooth timber of his singing, Charles Brown makes heartbreak, longing, and other aspects of the blues go down like pure sweet honey.
