O.V. Wright with Hi Rhythm

William Jones | Rockville, MD USA | 01/13/2001

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Unlike a lot of the live concerts by the great soul singers, say Al Green's "Live in Tokyo" for example, this set features the same band that made the records: Hi Rhythm, from Hi records in Memphis, TN. The sound is good but not great (as is often the case, the horns get buried a little bit). Overall, it is somewhat of a disappointment; the live material doesn't add a lot to the studio versions of these tunes. Still, for fans of O.V. Wright it's a must-have."

O.V. Live! How good does it get?

E. Fishbein | Saturn | 07/10/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As the companion disc to the Complete O.V. on Hi Records: In the Studio, this is the superior of the two.While hearing O.V.'s studio cuts are interesting, hearing him live is heavenly. The tracks are a mix of cuts from different concerts recorded in 1979. The only bad thing is it's not long enough. I want more! More!"
