5.0 out of 5 stars
Simply the best!, August 30, 2001
This review is from: In a Grand Style (Audio CD)
If you're a fan of Charles Brown, this is a must-have CD. This time it's simply Charles and his Grand piano. Recorded in 1999 a short time before his passing, Charles, his vocals, and piano playing are all allowed to shine without any over-produced studio sound getting in the way. His smokey voice, even better with age, lends a flavor to the album that no one can duplicate, it's just authentic Charles Brown. Bluesy, and at times haunting (One Never Knows), with a touch of humor thrown in (Give Me A Woman), this album has something for both new and old fans. This endeavor just reinforces the fact that Charles Brown is still the king of West Coast cool.
