Editorial Reviews
From Grove Press Guide to Blues on CD
In the 1970s, Latimore (aka Benny Latimore) stirred up attention as a respectable contemporary soul singer who had firm control over down-home blues feeling. Finding his niche at Malaco in the last decade, this progenitor of Robert Cray imparts a smooth conviction to high-quality happy or sad love songs on a typical set. The topnotch accompaniment by the Muscle Shoals players, including stalwarts Roger Hawkins and David Hood, accentuates his husky sexiness. -- © Frank John Hadley 1993

Customer Reviews:

The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

The Only Way Left is UP.......2007-02-16

I love this cd. I always wanted it and at the time of purchase, you were the only one that I had it. Although, it took two good plays and now it's stratched. It's skipping now when I've bought cd's from "circuit city" and I play them forever before I hear one skip. I don't think the quality of the product was all that good. I love the cd though, still. I just can't hear every song now.

excellent.......2000-10-25

As a lover of only EXCELLENT gospel music this CD is a must have for any who are seeking only the best. Being on the west coast,Very little music of this high quality is heard.I stumbled upon it about two months and now I listen too it daily. Fellows, Keep up the good work and remember"The Only Way left Is Up."

This is a dynamic CD!.......2000-07-28

I know the Gospel Four, and I have family and friends in the group. I can say that this is a great CD that you should have!I was there to witness the live recording and I was sure to get it when it came out. That bad guitarist you hear on there is my cousin .Talent runs in the family!(smile!) Anyways, I truly recommend this CD to quartet lovers.

Best In Years.......1999-08-15

George Dean & The Gospel Four have done it again. This project on their new record label has taken the gospel field by storm. Their unique style of quartet gospel is unbelievable. The soft yet gravely vocals of George Dean perfectly contrast the diamond sharp background vocals. Songs such as "Wait On The Lord", "It's Not Enough", and "It's Just A Matter of Time" are sure to be favorites for years to come. If you love great quartet singing this is absolutely the one for you. Lead singer George Dean is a good friend of the newest quartet sensation Lee Williams of the Spiritual Q.C.'s. Williams guest leads on the soul stirring version of "It's Just A Matter of Time". Each song is arranged perfectly making listening to this CD a joy. The smooth transition from one song to another also maintains the "Live" feel of the recording.

fairly standard Latimore/Malaco date.......2006-08-12

Fairly standard Latimore LP for Malaco, sticking to his distinctive style of down home Southern soul. Soul veteran Jimmy Lewis produced several of the tracks, aiming for a slightly more contemporary sound using programmed backing, while Malaco man Wolf Stevenson produced the others using the usual Muscle Shoals accompaniment for the more old school sound. The songs are pretty standard Latimore style, though he does get very bluesy on "If I Wasn't A Gentleman", while "Can't Stop" has a nice reggae tinge. The best track is probably "Take Me to the Mountaintop", a simple yet affective mid-tempo track and the only track written by Benny himself. One wishes Malaco would've let him contribute more originals in the simple soul/blues style of his classic "Let's Straighten It Out".

This is the way ,I think, Purcell should sound. No pomp and surcomstance but only great music.

ALL THE MUSIC YOU EVER NEED!!.......2003-05-23

This boxed set is by far one of the best purchases I have ever made. As a Purcell freak, this hits every button I have. The cast of characters include the inequitable Robert King, New College Choir, Bowman, and a host of other venerable persons. Likewise the attention to period performance of these works makes it an essential addition to the library of any serious anglophile/Musicologist etc. Now if only the Britten Realizations of all Purcell's songs could be recorded alongside the originals! You will Love this set!

Product Description

"The Only Way Out Is Up is, on the whole, an eclectic, risk-taking and pleasing disc that, manages to successfully find a balance between a hip, downtown New York City vibe and the conventions of jazz traditions. I have seen many artists try for this type of balance before and fail, because their efforts leaned too far toward one side or the other of the fence. Elisabeth Lohninger, however, is a performer with enough of equal parts of intelligence, nerve, imagination and talent that are necessary to pull it off and she does so, marvelously."
