Farlowe. The UK's finest blues export finally gets his due
in the U.S. with this latest anthology Rock 'N' Roll Soldier
(1970-2004) Sixteen of his finest accomplishments
over the past three decades, culled from over a dozen albums and
singles.
"Trouble" kicks things off. The track was culled from
his most recent studio effort, Farlowe That. Chris's voice
is second to none, and if this is just the preview sample of what
is to follow, then this 75 minute collection is surely worth the
price of admission. Check out this southern fried blues track featuring
incredible blazing guitar fit for a king.
Probably one of the more critically acclaimed projects of his
long career was his classic album The Voice. Several choice tracks
from this platter are awaiting you, such as the Small Faces rocking "All
or Nothing" and Farlowe's own revisit of "Handbags
and Gladrags." Kris Gray's super groove production really
adds to the ambiance of Chris's voice throughout. The ballad "Language
Of The Heart" is probably one of Chris Farlowe's finest
achievements in many years. This is one of the more introspective
tunes on this collection. Filled with echoes of a romance gone
astray, Farlowe's voice is the musical actor with a sad story
to tell. Truly an award winning performance!
Another stunning track is Van Morrison's "Sitting On
Top Of The World." Featured in a duet style with one of Farlowe's
special guests, together two old friends pull off a true show stopper.
With elements of a smooth sax and the stunning cafe type
jazz combo in the background, "Sitting On Top Of The World" is
one more amazing chapter in this anthology that will thrill the
listener.
As a bonus, Chris has located an unreleased live version of his
#1 single "Out Of Time." This global classic rounds
out the collection and the takes the career of this man full circle
for the fan and first time listener.
