Best music ever recorded since the big bang

"Aah yeah ..., how can one mortal soul express desperation, panic, joy and excessive beauty by means of his voice? What mechanism is triggered that singing isn't singing anymore but became sound by itself, coming from somewhere dark, deep and unknown, channeled through the physical body of a man who goes by the name of Garnet Mimms? How is it possible that my girlfriend and me (other race, other continent, other language, other generation) have goosepimples and tears in our eyes every single time we play this CD (about 500 times a year)? Because this CD contains music from the man with the most beautiful voice since the excistence of our galaxy. Cry Baby, One Girl, Wanting You, For Your Precious Love and all the other sacred songs on this peace of art are sung with such incredible intensity that it will leave everybody living or deceased with goosepimples. This CD goes through the barriers of every obstacle known to mankind. Put this on, and you've got SOUL. In my humble opinion, the deepest, the most desperate, the most sincere, the most honest, the most sacred, the soil, the earth, the core feeling that has makes live worth living on this planet. Garnet, thank you."
Lost Night

"talk about a lost night collection. This is a beauty from back in the days of early soul, late RnB, with plenty of nodding to the Drifters and Sam Cooke, but, really, is there really any need to take a shot at Janis Joplin, who not only had the good taste to revive the forgotten Garnett Mims classic "Cry Baby" but also sang the devil out of it with just as much, if not more, heart and soul as the man himself. God bless both of them."
Great CD

"Garnet Mimms & the Enchanters are great. Sounds alot like old Solomon Burke, same type of songs, but different voice. Great back up singers, similar to the Raylettes or the Ikettes. Every song is a winner. Once yoo hear the original version of Cry Baby, you'll never want to hear the Janis Joplin vesion again."
