CD ReviewsCharlie Last Name Wilson - Enjoyable CD Stephen Kammerer | Taji, Iraq | 03/05/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "I just saw Charlie live last week here at Camp Taji, Iraq, he brought the house down. Great event, 18 yr old soldiers next to 52 yr old Mac-daddy contractors were out there swinging to Gap Band favorites and very groove-able material from this recording. Charlie is a class act; there was no shameless plugging of this CD that night. He mentioned it maybe twice in a show that ran just under 2 hours, and that was it. "There Goes My Baby" is a hands-down keeper, it proudly showcases this man's tremendous vocal talent, diminished not one iota across decades. The purists may knock some efforts on this CD, but I'll pick it up. It's Charlie and he makes every selection sound good. No doubts. Many people purchase music to simply enjoy at a party or other occasion versus clinically dissecting each track for perceived aberrations in style, accompaniment or instrument usage. Besides, Amazon mp3 purchasing allows you to buy what you want. There's no shipping cost/delay and no need to complain about being obligated to eat the price of a CD you might feel has musical bits of wheat in a pile of chaff. I've acquired many albums and CDs over the years that had selections I initially didn't like, but grew on me over time. This CD is worth giving a chance. Charlie is still The Man." An "upgrade" of the GAP Band sound that satisfies both young Reginald D. Garrard | Camilla, GA USA | 03/06/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Charlie Wilson, who turned 56 in January, still possesses one of the best and easily recognizable voices in popular music. The years have not diminished his power and his passion...and "Uncle Charlie" shouldn't disappoint those that remember him from his Gap Band heyday to his "resurrection" at the start of the millennium. The almost 45-minute long album has a superb balance of the fast, the slow, and the mid-tempo and Uncle Charlie scores on 'em all. Even when paired with "kids" like T-Pain, Jamie Foxx, and Snoop Dog, the singer gives them, and their contemporaries, a lesson in the art of soulful singing. It's no wonder that they - and so many others - respect and revere the former Gap Band frontman. Best cuts on the album: ALL OF 'EM. NO FILLER HERE. Fans of Wilson will really "freak" when they hear "Let it Out." Highly recommended is this musical journey with everyone's favorite "uncle."" Uncle Charlie Arnita D. Brown | USA | 02/03/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Charlie Wilson is still capable of producing astonishingly vibrant and contemporary sounding records. UNCLE CHARLIE is every bit the worthy successor to 2005's career revitalizing FIRST NAME CHARLIE, LAST NAME WILSON. For Gap Band fans, 'Thinking of You' brings back the group's familiar rhythms and leaves lots of room for Wilson's gigantic pipes. This CD is the best one in my collection. There is not one song that I skip over. What a great CD."
