SERGIO MENDES - SERGIO MENDES
Sergio Mendes "Sergio Mendes" Album Review
Nice easy listening, with a Brazilian flavor!
I have enjoyed Brasil '66 since hearing Fool on the Hill on satellite radio. The group, working with jazz legend Herb Albert, covers a number of easy listening hits, though spicing them up with a Brazilian flair. Check out Fool on the Hill, With A Little Help From My Friends, and Scarborough Fair to see what I mean. Also check out Mais Que Nada, a nice song in Portuguese (you don't need to understand Portuguese to like the song - I only understand a few words). In short, this is a very nice sounding album for people who like soft, easy listening.

SOLOMON BURKE - MAKE DO WITH WHAT YOU GOT
Solomon Burke "Make Do with What You Got" Album Review
You Can Teach a Bear to Dance
You can teach a bear to dance, but don't expect him to enjoy it or look good doing it. It's hard to believe after the excellent "Don't Give Up on Me" (5 stars), anyone could make a Solomon Burke CD this bad. From the first notes of the first cut, I said to myself "Oh no". First there's the terrible mismatch of the material/arrangements which has Solomon's wonderful voice stretched to the breaking point on virtually every cut. Then there's the uninspired musicianship of the backing instumentals. And finally, even the back-up singers are often shrill and seldom mellow. This is my first review for Amazon & I'm doing it so that those who loved "Don't Give Up on Me" won't make the same mistake I did & buy "Make Do with What You've Got". If you bought this one first, don't give up on Solomon, just back up in time a little, or a lot.
