CD Reviews

LIVE! LIVE! ALL THE WAY LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
A. THOMAS | LOS ANGELES, CA USA | 04/05/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"SOME LIVE PERFORMANCES ARE NOT ALL THAT GREAT, SO I AM A LITTLE SKEPTICAL OF PURCHASING THEM, BUT THIS ONE WAS INCREDIBLE! DESPITE THE FACT THAT HIS BAND WAS A LITTLE LOST AT TIMES, THIS TRULY SHOWS HOW GREAT A SINGER J.T. WAS AND HOW MUCH OF A ENTERTAINER HE HAD BECOME! YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT ANY MISTAKES BECAUSE HE IS SINGING THE SONGS WITH SOOO MUCH POWER AND HEART FELT CONVICTION. YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR COLLECTION!!!!"
Possibly Johnnie Taylor's all-time best CD.

"This CD is a historically important live recording from one of Stax Records' most important figures. Recorded at the long-defunct Summit Club this is raw, funky and down-home Southern R&B at its best. Although I'm not a big fan of live albums I admit that "Live At The Summit Club" is a true masterpiece of Southern Soul which has a very intimate and relaxed yet spontaneous, anything-can-happen-here feel and ambience. This set's live versions of "Who's Making Love", "Stop Doggin' Me", "I Don't Wanna Lose You" and "Steal Away" eclipse the original studio versions for their greatness. Many thanks to the people at Concord Records for releasing this CD."
Missing JT.. last of the great Soul-blues men.

"Listening to him live, really makes me miss him so much. *teardrop*. He wasn't appreciated enough when we had him, he wasn't. As the saying goes, you're gonna miss your good thing when it's gone... and I don't know about you but, I'm really, really, really missing the man.. especially with authentic soul music being basically non-existent now, and those claiming to be soul brothas & sistas and the heir apparent, just do not possess the vocal prowess or showmanship to carry on the legacy. So.. I miss you JT. Something terrible."
