Bobby Womack - Someday We'll All Be Free

A recent post set me off trying to think of my top five soul albums. The top four is easy. And three out of the four are on Beverly Glen.

This isn’t going to be in anyone’s top five. It’s an album of tracks swept up from the cutting room floor after the recording of The Poet and The Poet II albums and released by Otis Smith without Womack’s consent.

Despite that, it’s not a bad album. It’s certainly better than some of the stuff he released in the next few years.

Bobby Womack - The Poet II

It’s a good indication that a record is one of your foundation tunes, if you can remember being stopped in your tracks the first time you heard it.

I was working overtime on a Saturday morning in 1984. My boss used to go home and leave me to it and I’d change the radio station from Radio 2 (which was even worse on Saturdays than the rest of the week) on to Radio London to hear Robbie Vincent. I remember standing there, completely blown away by Surprise, Surprise.
