Womack Special, One -Two Punch..
"Fly Me To The Moon"/"My Prescription", the first two albums compiled together of singer/songwriter Bobby Womack, FLY ME TO THE MOON, the debut released 1969. The heart of soul all over, featuring "Fly Me To The Moon", "What Is This", "I'm A Midnight Mover", "Lillie Mae", "Think It Over", - Wilson Pickett also covered "Midnight Mover", written in collaboration by Pickett and Womack. Pickett always said, "Bobby Womack was his favorite songwriter", and eleven of twenty three songs on this compilation are Womack originals. Bobby Womack is noted as a fine guitar player and probably underrated, his unique vocal style stands tall with other elite singers, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, or a Clarence Carter...listen for the fine cover of the Mamas And Papas', "California Dreamin'". MY PRESCRIPTION, the second album recorded in 1970, features, "How I Miss You Baby", "More Than I Can Stand", "Arkansas State Prison", "Everyone's Gone To The Moon", and a soulistic jazz version of, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco". This has to be one of the very best recordings of Bobby Womack, a disc ya just can't stop spinning... 2004 stateside uk import with excellent audio, would also recommend, THE VERY BEST OF BOBBY WOMACK, another import full of gold.

Fly Me to the Moon - That's Right
Two early and killer albums by the great Bobby Womack on a single CD. Recorded in Memphis at American Recording Studios at their peak. When you get to the last song, it's simply time to replay it.

Malditas cuerdas
Yo pensaba: "¿cómo puedo ser un aficionado al soul sin tener ni un disco de B. Womack?" Bien, al ver esta edición de sus dos primeros discos, también pensé que se me agotaban las disculpas. Busqué información sobre el disco, la compañía que lo editaba, escuche por ahí (web) las canciones... Pero no lo suficiente. Porque es el típico soul infectado de cuerdas, para que entre en el mercado blanco, no vaya a ser que desgarre algo... Detesto este tipo de producción, y por eso le doy dos estrellas. Música que podría ser fantástica, y pero queda atrapada en la mediocridad. La edición del cd pretende ser buena, pero es mala. No han repasado ni los errores tipográficos.
