5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best soul music of the past 30 years, June 8, 2004

If you aren't familiar with Gary U.S. Bonds, this disc will be one heck of surprise and a treat for anyone who is interested in artists like Bruce Springsteen and Southside Johnny. These were Gary's two initial comeback records after being away from the industry for a number of years. There is not a weak track on either record - and On The Line certainly ranks among the top albums of all-time. It's THAT good. "Last Time" will bring you to tears. "Out Of Work" and "This Little Girl Of Mine" were both hits - but I never hear them on the radio anymore. It's a disc that will move you and also could be the perfect soundtrack for any party. Simply put it on and let it rip. No need to create a special mix. Also, check out his Best Of CD that covers his songs from the 60's. He had two huge hits in the early years with "Quarter To Three" and "New Orleans". You've heard both of them and probably never knew who was singing the song. Well, here's your chance - don't let it pass you by.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Great Two-Fer, April 24, 2009

This review is from: Dedication/On the Line (Audio CD)

These are two great Gary U.S. Bonds albums produced by Bruce Springsteen. The E Street band is all over these albums as well as other related Jersey shore musicians. But Bonds is not overwhelmed by the Asbury Park musicians and these albums are uniquely his own. "Dedication" is probably the better of the two but "On The Line" is well worth having. Several of Bonds' early 60's soul contemporaries, Chuck Jackson and Ben E. King appear on "Dedication" as well as Ellie Greenwich.

Gary U.S. Bonds is a true rock'n roller. This CD collection is awesome. You can't beat the oldie but goody sound mixed with New Jersey shore. It's in my top 10 of favorite CD's of all time.
