The Impressions
A wise buy for those curious about the kings of Chicago soul, The Very Best of the Impressions is a tad brief, but it hits on all cylinders for most of its running time. Beginning with the early hits "Gypsy Woman" and "It's All Right," this chronological 16-track collection compiles the best from the Impressions' growing social consciousness ( ...

The Impressions
This is an Ultimate Collection for the Impressions, not Curtis Mayfield, which are two separate things, no matter how closely intertwined their histories are. This begins with "For Your Precious Love," when Jerry Butler was the lead singer, and ends with two tracks that he neither wrote nor sang, giving a good basic history of the band's career ...

Jerry Butler & The Impressions
Before the Impressions were Curtis Mayfield's group, they were Jerry Butler's, and while both incarnations were superb, it was Mayfield's visionary songwriting that truly earned the Impressions their current reputation. This rather lackluster set (everything included here is a re-recording and not the original version) combines the two versions of ...

For Aaron Neville, the impact of Hurricane Katrina could only be expressed through music, specifically on songs that are uplifting, meaningful, and close to the heart.

Original Soundtrack
One does have to wonder where soundtrack compilers get the "Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture." This may have happened once or twice in the '90s, but since that time it's simply a biz gag to place product on a soundtrack recording. In other words, the titles should read "Music From and That Schematically Makes Sense on This Soundtrack ...

A stunning but brief compilation of Impressions tracks that includes favorites like "It's All Right," plus two motivators in "Amen" and "Keep On Pushing." The mysterious "Gypsy Woman" is the best of the Impressions as a quintet, while the bouncy "I Love You (Yeah)" and the sincere "See the Real Me" are two examples of the close harmonies of the ...

Ben E. King released an unassuming and low-key album called What's Important to Me in 1992 on John E. Abbey's then Atlanta-based Ichiban Records. Competent and pleasant, maybe a tad over-produced, the album featured the love songs "You Got All of Me," "She's Gone Again," and the title track, "So Important to Me," as well as a misguided cover of ...

Looking at the cover of Huey Lewis & the News' Live at 25, it's hard not to think, "Wow! I had no idea that the News had 25 members!" Of course, the middle-aged men crowding the cover of this 2005 release number a mere nine, which means the one-time sextet has been expanded with a full horn section (original guitarist Chris Hayes has been replaced ...

Curtis Mayfield
The focus of this three-CD, 51-song production is on Curtis Mayfield's solo work; much of the first disc is devoted to his most popular work with the Impressions, but the remainder of the compilation surveys his solo output from 1970 to 1990. The Impressions tracks are uniformly excellent, but the Mayfield-only cuts are more problematic. The best ...
