Customer Review: Quality Album!
Very shocked and disappointed to see someone gave this 1 star. In my opinion this album is littered with quality songs and together they make a very enjoyable album that is soulful and relaxing. His gritty voice and heartfelt lyrics make him stand out from amongst the crowd. My favourites are:
I’ll Take Her
Lovin’ You
True Love
Country Boy
Customer Review: A Good Soulful Debut!
This is Calvin Richardson’s 1999 debut - a must for fans of the “2:35PM” his 2003 album. Calvin’s vocal style is reminiscent as times of Bobby Womack, Charlie Wilson, Donny Hathaway and Jodeci/K-Ci & JoJo. There is a lot of gritty, gospel and neo-soul over tones which is refreshing coming from such a young talent.
To be fair, there is nothing earth-shatteringly new here and there is an element of a “same sounding” theme. That said, what you do get are some signs that Calvin is a “Soul Man” at heart. For me the following tracks are worth their weight in gold:
1. True Love - Chico Debarge composition and another well arranged song. (9/10)
2. Close My Eyes - A superb duet with Monifah in a classic laid-back soul ballad setting.(9/10)
3. Lovin’ You - A great song and arrangement of unrequited love. (8/10)
4. Trust Me So Much - A respectful remake of Bobby Womack’s “I Wish He Didn’t Trust Me So Much”. This will be a definate favourite for old-school soul lovers.(8/10)
5. I’ll Take Her - A great duet with K-Ci who also co-writes the song with Calvin. This song especially sounds very much like a Bobby Womack/Sam Cooke tune. (8/10)
6. Coming Home - A very personal sounding and at the same time philosophical tribute family and friends who have passed on. (8/10)
Buy it - you won’t be disappointed!

Customer Review: Original Sounds of the Fifties
Do you remember the days when country spawned rock and roll in the fifties? You didn’t know the difference but the songs sure sounded good. Here’s a legend from that time with Don Gibson’s classic recordings transferred from the original RCA master tapes. They sound as good as you remember them and this CD is well recommended. Listen and Enjoy
