Sam Cooke, inventor and true King of Soul, recorded Mr. Soul in the same year as Night Beat, and seems to be its more adult
counterpart, with soulful ballads taking up most of the album. A laidback tempo and rich arrangements lay the foundation over
which Sam’s somewhat melancholy voice floats, creating an uplifting spirit that can mend anyone’s broken heart. With standards
such as "Willow Weep For Me", "I Wish You Love", and "For Sentimental Reasons", Cooke shows a quiet emotive side of himself
without losing his keen sense of melody, using the strength of his voice without overpowering the listener. Had Sam Cooke
lived longer, we might have had more music of this rare quality. As it stands, we must make do with the treasures he left behind.
Mr. Soul is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on orange coloured vinyl.
