#1785 Sam Cooke - Night Beat

Cooke's voice, it really is something, full, round, bold, expressive, even mustering a bit of grit when the song demands. It's a good fit to the loose feel of these late-night sessions, a bunch of musicians rattling through all the rock and soul they love.

Cooke's deliberateness, his insistence on making it good (god forbid) undermines some of the rock tracks - rock needs a little more fuckit. As soul its just right - deep and true and blue like a moonlit lake 3.5/5
