Somewhere between the urbane sophistication of Nat King Cole and the heartfelt soul of Ray Charles lies the realm of Charles Brown. Brown was in fact heavily influenced by Cole, and if you check out some of Charles's early cuts you'll hear a near-perfect clone of Brown. Although nearly 80, Brown continues to produce music as good as he did when he helped pioneer the rhythm and blues scene in the early '40s. This new album is, not surprisingly, superb. For the most part, Brown sticks to a winning formula of sparse backup, featuring Danny Caron's sultry guitar and Teddy Edwards's smooth sax work. --Lars Gandil
Living Blues
Age has added wit to Brown's style, but it hasn't detracted from his dexterity or his imagination. He adds impetus not by kicking into overdrive, but through understated hesitations and accents that often derive their eloquence from what he doesn't play as much as from what he does.... So Goes Love is an essential component of his [legacy].
