(4 out of 5 stars)

"'Sweet Voice' is Charles Atkins' latest CD release. Previous releases include 'Diggin The Gold', 'The Blues Says It All' and 'Animal Called The Blues'. Unlike his previous releases, the 13 cuts (#14 'Floridas Song', was previously released on 'The Blues Says It All') focus on Mr. Atkins' soulful side. Charles gives The Blues a rest here and explores some R&B and Gospel sounds from his past. Of the 14 original tracks, Charles has penned 11, the other 3 having been wrought by his producer Mr. Greenlee. Eleven out of 14 isn't a bad number and Mr. Atkins' songwriting is definitely at the height of its power here. From the sweet lullaby of the title track Sweet Voice to the beautifully touching Angel Heaven, Charles Atkins has given his fans and the rest world some of the sweetest soul music ever."
