Womack Special, One -Two Punch.., September 24, 2009
This review is from: Fly Me to the Moon / My Prescription (Audio CD)
"Fly Me To The Moon"/"My Prescription", the first two albums compiled together of singer/songwriter Bobby Womack, FLY ME TO THE MOON, the debut released 1969. The heart of soul all over, featuring "Fly Me To The Moon", "What Is This", "I'm A Midnight Mover", "Lillie Mae", "Think It Over", - Wilson Pickett also covered "Midnight Mover", written in collaboration by Pickett and Womack. Pickett always said, "Bobby Womack was his favorite songwriter", and eleven of twenty three songs on this compilation are Womack originals. Bobby Womack is noted as a fine guitar player and probably underrated, his unique vocal style stands tall with other elite singers, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, or a Clarence Carter...listen for the fine cover of the Mamas And Papas', "California Dreamin'". MY PRESCRIPTION, the second album recorded in 1970, features, "How I Miss You Baby", "More Than I Can Stand", "Arkansas State Prison", "Everyone's Gone To The Moon", and a soulistic jazz version of, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco". This has to be one of the very best recordings of Bobby Womack, a disc ya just can't stop spinning... 2004 stateside uk import with excellent audio, would also recommend, THE VERY BEST OF BOBBY WOMACK, another import full of gold.
