Leon Bridges
Gold-Diggers Sound (Alternative Cover)
Leon Bridges
The Texas singer delivers a smooth, risk-averse R&B album whose nostalgic trappings aim for timelessness.
Gold-Diggers Sound is made by nimble moments like this: small flourishes and details bring remarkable heft to the album. The quietly brilliant production brings out the best in Bridges, who displays a remarkable amount of restraint. Many vocalists with his talent are content to blow the listener away

Little Girl Blue
Nina Simone
Little Girl Blue
Nina Simone
With her contralto voice and well-developed piano skills, Nina was already the full package and this debut disc is terrific.
Little Girl Blue, released in 1957, was Nina Simone's first recording, originally issued on the Bethlehem label. Backed by bassist Jimmy Bond and Albert "Tootie" Heath, it showcases her ballad voice as one of mystery and sensuality and showcases her uptempo jazz style with authority and an enigmatic down-home feel that is nonetheless elegant.

Tribute to the Lady
Sam Cooke
Tribute to the Lady
Sam Cooke
A hidden gem from Sam Cooke
An album that's seldom been seen and disappeared almost as quickly as it was released. Sam Cooke turned these songs inside out with twisting, awesome interpretations.
It was one of the few times he was able to break out of the light pop/teen idol bag in a studio and pour his heart into great lyrics and numbers.

Gregory Porter
Nat King Cole & Me
Gregory Porter
Nat King Cole & Me
Cole & Me has all the lushness of those original Cole renditions, but remains very clearly the work of Porter.
This is not someone mimicking the King; this is a fully formed artist taking on that music with reverence, but with his own style. Porter's tone is impeccable, his sense of time, sublime.

If someone was asked to define soul music, it would be difficult to put into words, but you could put on this record and that person would understand what soul music was almost immediately.
This album works on so many different levels, that it's essential listening for at least three categories of buyer - fans of Otis Redding and Stax Records (natch), and more general soul listeners, and also anyone serious about their devotion to the work of the Rolling Stones and any other British invasion bands that covered American soul.

A5 - You Send Me
