My Favorite SOS Album of All Time..........2007-05-11

Love this cd ! It is one that I play more often than any of their other releases. This one is soulfully consistent and just has a deep groove and vibe througout. Whether you want to classify this as pre-neo soul or an homage to 70's soul, SOS does not miss a beat.Could lead singer Corinne Drewery's vocals be more bluesy and soulful? Sure. However, she has never claimed to be a blues or soul singer; Her vocals still possess the finesse to go either way(pop or R&B) without alienating fans of either musical genres... A couple of tracks,including one instrumental, have a 70's-Isaac Hayes "Shaft" atmosphere! Not a single minute on this cd is fodder or filler. This one receives high marks.

Swing Out Sister..........2007-01-31

"Swing Out Sister" shows their talent and consistency with this CD. Get it at a good price and enjoy!

****ESSENTIAL!*****.......2006-01-29

I just got this CD at the start of the year and it's my new favorite. It's just timeless northern soul, downtempo, and soulful strut.

Gorgeous! And it's on Internet jukebox, so you can play some select favorites while you shoot pool or down a few ales at your favorite watering hole. trust me, people will go up to the machine to figure out who's rocking the joint with this masterful mix of soul, stylin' dance and penthouse pop. My God, Corrine never sounded better than she does on this one. Her voice soars and hits bullseye after bullseye. Sweetspot redux!
This should be in every home and should be studied at an academic level by musicologists worldwide--ok that's a bit much, but trust me, you won't be sorry.
BUY IT!!!

Strong mix of 70s sound, modern production.......2006-01-19

With few exceptions, Swing Out Sister can tackle any style of jazz-pop with credibility. This 1992 set proves that the act can lift elements of Seventies soul and make them their own.

Corinne Drewery is in fine voice, as usual -- think your favorite cabaret singer meets Diana Ross -- especially on "Notgonnachange" and "Incomplete Without You." And the title track, a tough rebuke to a wayward lover, is one of Swing Out Sister's best songs.

It helps that Drewery and keyboardist Andy Connell -- and the duo's longtime collaborator, producer Paul O'Duffy -- are again joined by some of the best musicians in British pop. That includes the "Henpecked Horns" -- sax player Gary Barnacle and trumpeter John Thirkell. Thirkell's jazzy, brilliant solo in "Understand" may be even than his tour-de-force on SOS's "Surrender" off the group's 1987 debut.

Tasteful, first-class music, just what fans have expected from Swing Out Sister for nearly 20 years.

This is a great CD, the kind of music from SOS that their fans have come to love & expect. There are great uptempo, cool, jazzy tunes on this CD. If you only get one SOS cd, make it this one.
