5.0 out of 5 stars Well Worth The Wait, September 2, 2004

This review is from: Shining Through the Rain (Audio CD)

While I have enjoyed Percy Slege's music in the past, I bought this cd because of one track, "Lonely Violin" written by the Brothers Gibb in the early 70's. This song was never released by the Bee Gees, but I have heard their version. For my money music from the Bee Gees cannot be beat, however, I really think Percy did a great job with this song. And after listening to all the tracks on the cd, I think this is going to be one that goes in my cd player over and over.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't make us wait for the next one!, August 31, 2004

Beautiful, beautiful.

It's rare these days I feel inspired to take a new CD home, and even rarer that I love a new record from beginning to end.

Beautiful, soulful music sung by a man I want to hear so much more from. I've now got 10 more favorite songs to add to my all time list of favorites. "My Old Friend the Blues", "Road of No Return", "Big Blue Diamonds", and so many others. Can you wear out a CD? I might wear this one out from replaying it.

And it's not just me. I played this in my office and everyone loved it.

Enough for now, I'm going to go back and listen to this treasure again!

I read a review of this album in No Depression magazine and decided to give it a chance. To my ears it is one of the great CD'S of 2004 and I have passed the word on to several friends.Mr. Sledge is a true treasure and his interpretations of the songs on Shining Through the Rain are masterful and his backing band deserves a pat on the back too.
