5.0 out of 5 stars Voices that blow U away! You're heart will thank U 4 it!, October 23, 1998

This review is from: Join the Band (Audio CD)

Take 6 comes on to the scene with an album that touches everyone. The legendary voices of Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, and Queen Latifah, come to, as the album is called, "Join the Band." This group of talented gentlemen wrap you tight in their R&B tunes and when you think it can't get any better they send home with a Sweet Lullaby that leaves you wanting more. The song, "You Can Never Ask (Of Love)," is one song that has been deprived from the American audience. Its lyrics are worth its price in gold. You can't go wrong with this CD. I've had it now for four years and still love it. And the song, "You Can Never Ask (Of Love)," has become one of my all-time favorites. I've already advanced ordered Take 6's newest CD "So Cool," and if its anything like the others I own it'll be another elaborate album.

Take 6's 4th CD Join the band Is a truely remarkable CD. When They first Collaborated for This CD announcing that the songs would be partial accapella and and some instrumental backing, there was quite a schism in the T6 Community. I heard many Avid Take 6 fans and friends that said this CD wasnt their greatest work, but I disagree.
While it wasnt completely Accapella, They sustained a great mix of pieces ; a combination of Accapella pieces as well as Instrumental pieces. The songs were very moving especially the collaborations and even the first track that starts the CD was awesome mix of vocals and electronic backing.

Dont get me wrong.. Take 6 are definately at their GREATEST when they do accapella and Id love for them to keep doing accapella in the future; but we must allow them to explore and expand their horizons as well.

For me this CD is definately *MY* Favorite It showed more innovation and memorable tunes; and not to mention that MOST of the songs here got more AIR and radio time then all of the other CD's Combined (besides the Christmas ones)
All I need, Even though,Biggest part of me,Why I feel this way,You can never ask too much of love,.. These are examples of songs that I heard *MANY* times on the radio, Christian and Jazz, and even R&B.

I read the other reviews and agree. I like the entire CD, but I do have my favorites--"I've got life, Your love is why I feel this way (with Stevie Wonder),Lullaby, All I need is a chance, and My Friend (with Ray Charles)". Take 6 continues to amaze me with their arrangements that only they can do. Whether acappella or not, these guys can do no wrong vocally! I've had this CD for about 5 or 6 years and still listen to it constantly.
