What can you say - Classic Sam and Dave at its best.

Great music to play loud in a convertible while going to the beach.

DYNAMIC DUO

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2014

SAM & DAVE-SOUL MEN: Paraphrasing the title of their most successful hit, which also provided a blueprint for THE BLUES BROTHERS' enthusiastic (if note for note) tribute, SOUL MEN could apply to no cooler combination of blistering talent than SAM MOORE and DAVE PRATER. Their third punchy platter, backed as always by STAX house band BOOKER T & THE MG'S and THE MEMPHIS HORNS, is the usual swaggering, grit-choked affair, with MOORE's jubilant gospel-infused yowl facing off against PRATER's guttural back street growl. In addition to the prolific songwriting team of ISAAC HAYES and DAVID PORTER, who penned both SOUL MAN and its popular flipside MAY I BABY, solid material is provided by MG axe man STEVE CROPPER, whose BROKE DOWN PIECE OF MAN was memorably tackled by SOUTHSIDE JOHNNY years later and influential 5 ROYALES guitarist LOWMAN PAULING; there's even an affectionate run through of the sublime standard LET IT BE ME. The funky, sweat-soaked ride comes to an abrupt finale in just under half an hour (typical for sixties LPs)...a clear case of quality over quantity, something the incomparable SAM & DAVE always had to spare.

I downloaded "Soul Man". This is a Stereo album. Why did a mono version download?

il duo più esplosivo del soul

Reviewed in Italy on December 6, 2016

Ancora Atlantic Records, ancora riedizione giapponese, che recupera le matrici della mitica Stax Records e ci propone una delle incisioni più clamorose del fantastico duo composto da Sam Moore, voce tenore, e David Prater, voce baritonale.
L'album in questione è il loro classico per eccellenza, quel "Soul man" del 1967 che li pose al centro dell'attenzione generale della scena soul e non solo. E in effetti l'album scorre che è una meraviglia a cominciare dal brano omonimo che apre il disco e che è a tutti gli effetti il loro miglior biglietto da visita. Poi scorrono altre 10 perle dove spirito soul, ritmiche di chiara impostazione r'n'b, fiati nella miglior tradizione memphisiana ravvivano pezzi come "Broke down piece of man", "I'm with you" e "The good runs the bad way" tanto per citare alcuni titoli (facendo comunque torto ai restanti, bellissimi). Altro aspetto importante che si ravvisa nel loro sound è la derivazione gospel qui splendidamente rievocata con la tecnica vocale del call & response di cui i due erano maestri.
C'è chi chiama questa musica urban soul, chi southern soul, io la chiamo musica meravigliosa.
