Editorial Review:
The lead voice of Stax Records' powerhouse soul duo Sam and Dave returns to reclaim his legacy here with a collection of familiar r&b catalog choices framed by slick, decidedly contemporary productions. If the project's crowded supporting cast -- Springsteen, Clapton, Wynonna, Sting, Bon Jovi, Winwood, Paul Rodgers, Mariah Carey, Vince Gill and Billy Gibbons among the most notable -- sometimes makes Moore seem like a guest on his own album, their admittedly marketing-driven presence nonetheless helps showcase a seminal soul artist for an American Idol-smitten generation that seems to have taken him for granted (hardly a surprise that project producer Randy Jackson is best known as an AI judge). Yet Moore's gritty, expressive voice can't be denied on the best of it, whether on the simmering gospel fervor of the Wynonna/Bekka Bramlett/Bebe Winans-seasoned "I Can't Stand the Rain," the bluesy shuffle of "Better To Have and Not Need" with Springsteen joining in the chorus or a soulful "None of Us Are Free" featuring Sting. But, as Fantasia's turn on the unfortunate "Blame It On the Rain" argues, it's also an album whose tracks often frustratingly rise or fall in proportion to the contributions of its guests; less would definitely mean Moore here. --Jerry McCulley
Sam Moore's astonishing solo album that showcases his timeless talent and versatility.
2006 album from one-half of the famed R&B/Soul duo Sam & Dave. Featuring duets with such musical heavyweights as Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Mariah Carey, Vince Gill, Travis Tritt, Fantasia, Eric Clapton, Billy Preston, Zucchero, Wynonna and many others. Korova.

Rating:  - Memories
I have loved the voice of Sam Moore for years. I especially love the cut with Bekka Bramlett....she sounds like her Mom...great memories of her parents Delaney and Bonnie.
This CD is uplifting I play it while cleaning house and have turned about three people on to buyng it.
Rating: - Soul so smooth he sounds like it is as easy as breathing
Sam Moore's voice takes you in and keeps you until well after the songs are over. The guests do not overpower him in anyway, they complement him and, yes, the album would have been great without them, but it's full of little treats with them.Vince Gill's tenor,Wynonna, Bon Jovi, Springstein, Winwood, Bramlett (now that woman can sing!). I'm 48 and my daughter is 18. She loves all kinds of rap and soul, and everything else that 18 year olds like, but she loves this album. Everytime we get into ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic cd @}->---
I am so impressed with this cd. It's great. It's produced by Randy Jackson and it features an impressive list of guest artists. I mean, to have people on your cd like Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Mariah Carey, Eric Clapton (guitar), Vince Gill and Wynonna Judd to name a few is fantastic.
The music itself is stunning and soothing and I'm totally hooked. I really love Lookin For A Love (with Jon Bon Jovi) and It's Only Make Believe (with Mariah). I can't stop playing this and his voice ... Read More
