Hold On, I’m Comin’

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=”mulled_wine” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-quote-left”]Al Jackson plays as if Sam and Dave had just persuaded him that you could be arrested for not popping the one hard enough. Sam and Dave sing as if they said it because they believed it.
And if you know a greater statement of sexual urgency, keep it to yourself because it probably really is illegal.

When Something is Wrong with My Baby

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=”mulled_wine” icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-quote-left”]A landmark in the history of onomatopoeia. Sam and Dave welded themselves in sound as strongly as their song insists one must be joined with one’s baby. The irony, of course, is that Sam and Dave couldn’t stand one another. Nevertheless, no duo ever harmonized better than these two, and that’s even more evident on this molasses-tempo ballad than on their bigger, faster hits. The vocal arrangement is pure gospel, but the solemn bass, ostinato piano, organ wash, and sonorous horn chords (which Aretha swiped for the bridge of “Respect”) are the essence of the Stax/Volt sound. The result is conversational but never casual, right down to the cries of “Sure ’nuff!” and “Now!”
