Sam and Dave's follow-up to "Hold on I'm Comin" sees the duo continue to churn out great Memphis soul. Back by the MG's, this album shows how dirty and raw, while at the same time delicate and tender, Sam & Dave could be. The album contains many hits and NO FILLER!

***Please note this edition is in TRUE STEREO, which has not been available since the original vinyl release. The original 1991 Atlantic CD is in MONO. It is amazing to hear the separation in the instruments with rhythm piano, horns and bass in one channel and drums, vocals, and guitar in the other. I personally love Stax stereo because of the lack of "center" mixes, everything has its own place! While the mono is considered more raw (but Sam & Dave WHERE raw), I love the clear stereo mix. I got this so I could retire my original mono vinyl and am more than pleased!***

The music contained on this album is fantastic. Unfortuntely, there is a problem with the mp3 download. Half the tracks have serious audio problems that I know are unrelated to the actual recording of the music. This is a reoccuring problem with amazon downloads, and the real issue is not that the tracks are bad, it's that the consumer has no recourse but to write a review. No refund, no fixed download, no nothing (pardon the double negative). So find the cd, but don't download.
fyi: Sam & Dave's "Soul Men" album is the only one i have downloaded that doesn't have audio problems.
