#786 Sam & Dave - Hold On, I'm Comin'

These are two cool dudes, belting out tales of wanting and taking and getting, sounding like they really care without sounding like they're really trying. It's a neat trick, all backed by brisky, funky Stax backbeats and horns, hooky and hitched with a thrilling, ragged edge, like a couple of laid-back James Browns.

Also, add this to the list of albums where the cover sums it up: Sam and Dave are slow but unrushed, suited up and cool, even in a cartoon turtle wonderland.

Whatever it is you need, they know when you need it and that's exactly when you'll get it 4/5
