Soul Man: Live in Japan [Live]

Editorial Reviews
From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
Clay has been singing soul music intertwined with gritty blues since 1965, when he crossed over from the gospel world, and his passion hasn't abated over the years. Yet the Chicagoan's 1983 performance, with his voice forcing its emotion and his ersatz Otis Redding, 0. V. Wright, and Al Green moves, is of interest to admirers only. Clay's studio-recorded 1992 release I'll Treat You (Bullseye Blues CD) is better, though it can't touch his 1970s I Can't Take It LP on the Hi label, or his recent gospel sides. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

4 out of 5 stars Something is missing..........2002-03-23

I have had this on cassette since it came out and was disappointed to see the CD is missing the last 2 songs, Ellie and Trying To Live My Life Without You, which add up to more than 20 minutes. The music that remains is top-rate.

4 out of 5 stars The Unchanging Soul Man.......2001-09-11

Otis Clay sings in front of a devoted Japanese audience and gives the performance of his life. He sticks to the style that made him - raw, passionate, Southern-style soul that sounds like it was born in Memphis. His intense singing shows his gospel roots with His Precious Love included on this disc. Other highlights include Holding On To A Dying Love, and the O.V. Wright song, A Nickel And A Nail. This collection is an excellent overview of his hits. It was recorded in 1983 and has the core of the band that backed up Al Green in the 70's. A good place to start if you're new to Otis Clay. There's no one like him!
