Mr Soul Orange Vinyl

Sam Cooke, inventor and true King of Soul, recorded Mr. Soul in the same year as Night Beat, and seems to be its more adultcounterpart, with soulful ballads taking up most of the album. A laidback tempo and rich arrangements lay the foundation overwhich Sams somewhat melancholy voice floats, creating an uplifting spirit that can mend anyones broken heart. With standardssuch as 34Willow Weep For Me34, 34I Wish You Love34, and 34For Sentimental Reasons34, Cooke shows a quiet emotive side of himselfwithout losing his keen sense of melody, using the strength of his voice without overpowering the listener. Had Sam Cookelived longer, we might have had more music of this rare quality. As it stands, we must make do with the treasures he left behind.Mr. Soul is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on orange coloured vinyl.
