Solomon Burke - Don’t Give Up On Me
If you buy only one album this summer, make it this one. How can you go wrong with a collection of previously unreleased songs by Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, Elvis Costello, Van Morrison, Tom Waits and Nick Lowe, among others, sung by a pioneer of soul music and backed by Daniel Lanois and the Blind Boys of Alabama? Burke sings with deep soulfulness, enriching everything from the blues of Dylan’s “Stepchild” to the gospel of Lowe’s “The Other Side of the Coin.” An instant classic from a true legend.
