In The Bin [Issue
#23]
Solomon Burke
Nashville
(CD
Shout Factory)
The rock and roll pioneer surprises fans with an unusual career move: recording
a country album. At 66, Burke’s voice shows vulnerability and charisma
on classics such as: the duet with Dolly Parton on “Tomorrow Is Forever,”
Bruce Springsteen’s “Ain’t Got You,” and Patty Griffin’s
“Up to the Mountain.” Aside from Burke’s commanding presence, the
authentic country musicianship lets the album soar.
