This review is from: Goin to Memphis (Audio CD)

Sold as a "Raiders" recording, it isn't. This remarkable CD is actually Mark Lindsay and some of the finest musicians in Memphis, put together by producer Chips Moman, and it has that great "Otis/Sam & Dave" sound...with arrangements that are tight and solid (the horns are a knock-out) and a whole lot of soul.

9 of the songs were penned by Mark, are excellent, and fit in well with the likes of the Sam and Dave hit "Soul Man". My absolute favorite is "I Don't Want Nobody" by Thomas/Jones, with Mark's "Goin' to Memphis" a close second.

2 of the bonus tracks are previously unissued, and are a treat to have included here. This is a CD that gets better with each hearing...it has a lot of depth as well as super fine musicianship. If you like soul music, and appreciate Mark's amazing voice and talent, this one's for you !

4.0 out of 5 stars Mark's first solo album, April 15, 2000

If you like Elvis Presley's Fat/Vegas period, then you'll love this album, because it's the same kind of songs performed by most of the same musicians. Mark Lindsay was the only Raider to appear on this album, so it has a different kind of sound, but since many of the songs are originals by Lindsay, you still get a Raideresque feel. My favorites include "Boogaloo Down Broadway" "My Way" and the Title Track, which used to be Ray Charles's live opener.

Essentially the Mark Lindsay Soul Revue, featuring session musicians in lieu of the actual Raiders. Lindsay has the voice and the inclination for blue-eyed soul, but something just something doesn't quite ignite here. Perhaps the most ambitious but least interesting Raiders album, excluding the Christmas oddity, in the catalog.
