Customer Reviews

With Friends Less can be More.

After the trilogy of Friends albums Jools returned with an album where the style and tone of the music was more suited to the big band sound of his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra. I was hoping he reverted to being the main singer but he shares the vocal duties with his regular female vocalists Sam Brown and Ruby Turner with a star turn by Beverly Turner and two with Solomon Burke including his greatest creation `Everybody Needs Somebody to Love'.

I think the album works best with the arrangement of the instrumental numbers and the songs which Jools sings but some of the guest vocalists are given sympathetic arrangements particularly Ruby Turners ambitious take on Dylan's `Blowin' in the Wind'.
Not a total return to form but still a worthwhile entry in the Holland cannon which was beginning to appear tired with the Friends albums coming out with seemingly the only reason to pay to keep an eighteen piece big band on the road.

Great......just great

I have been a great fan of Jools Holland for a long time, and brought this album without any need to look at reviews, and I wasn't disappointed, great piano led Blues and Jazz, along side fantastic vocals.

Magnificent

I have had this disc for 6 months or so. I have never written a review before but this disc demands it. I have a huge music collection and this energetic album is a real outstanding jewel. Every track is bursting with energy & tempo, huge big-band sounds and well mastered. For any fan of piano led blues and jazz this album is an absolute peach.

Cracking disc

Another winner from Jools and the gang. A great combination of foot-tapping tracks.

Great

This is an amazing album, one of Holland's best so far; every song is a gem; not to be missed by any fan of jazz or blues.
