Modern Update for Bobby
Diamond Jim | brisbane australia | 11/06/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm sick of artists releasing covers album...except when they are done like this. This is a well thought out and intelligent release. Many of Mr Womack's tracks I didn't recognise, so it was like they were new tracks for me. The production is modern and does not sound in the least bit dated yet still respecting that classic soul sound. Calvin has the vocals chops to go with it. It looks like everyone is giving this CD 5 stars and for good reason. This will be hard to beat for r&b album of the year. Awesome"
Absolutely Extraordinary and Vocally Profound

"I am a woman who is 41 years of age and grew up on Bobby Womack and others of his era via listening to my Dad's music collection. This CD as delivered by Calvin Richardson should make Bobby Womack extremely proud. Bobby Womack has always been a favorite of mine, and he is even more outstanding live!! Calvin Richardson's interpretation of the infamous and melodic sounds of Bobby Womack's music is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Calvin Richardson indeed does this project justice with his unique and powerful vocal delivery of the lyrics on each track. Calvin is feeling every single word he sings...it's obvious that Calvin understood where Bobby Womack was coming from lyrically, as he put forth strong emphasis on every note attached to each of these songs. This CD is a MUST BUY for any fan of great soul music whether you are a Bobby Womack fan from way back or not....you will most certainly treasure and cherish this CD for many years to come. This project is a must have for any music lover's collection...to be handed down for many generations!! Calvin Richardson whole-heartedly did his thing on this compilation!! Nope, you can't have mine....you've got to get your own!! (smile)"
Soul music at last!

"I love this cd! I am still considered young (30) but love that classic r&b soul sound. I can listen to this cd over and over. I love the first song on here. I have been following his career since the beginning. I believe he was introduced by Angie Stone another favorite.



One thing I did not like is when he called the woman a "B". I am not sure if it was in the original but he could have used better judgement and omitted it."
