5.0 out of 5 stars A Recent Convert... 5 Nov 2012
Format:Audio CD
I have to say that whilst nothing will compete with some of SR all-time classics, Mick has put together a thoroughly enjoyable and powerful collection of covers here. I was only aware of a a handful of the originals but the whole album flows so nicely - the wife & I listened to it twice in full on the first sitting and on a recent 3 hour drive we must have listened to the whole album 5 or 6 times through and are still loving it!

5.0 out of 5 stars From the soul.......... 29 Oct 2012
Format:Audio CD
....it is always hard to cover great songs and harder still to make them your own and how can you cover aaron neville when that's not who you are. Mick Hucknall does, however, offer a slick and well produced set of songs that anyone would be glad to put their name too - I love the versions of songs that I am not familiar with (love the opening track), what a storming choice of songs that will take on a new meaning after several listens - so glad that Mick Huckanll is still sharing all that he is with music lovers everywhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great voice 8 Nov 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Straight away Mick's voice is on-song. I heard a review on TV and bought there and then. Most of the numbers are to my taste.

5.0 out of 5 stars The voice is back! 5 Nov 2012
Format:Audio CD
Mick's voice is simply stunning on this album! As a HUGE Simply Red fan I could be accused of being slightly biased but my 24 year old daughter also loves it and even my husband (who was never really into Simply Red) had to admit that Mick's voice does indeed sound incredible. I sadly missed him at the Albert Hall this year but can't wait to see him perform live next year.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE SOUL OF HUCKNALL 15 Nov 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
four years on from the excellent "Tribute to Bobby" Mick hucknell returns with another tribute to soul,his voice is still largely intact,listen to the download of two live tracks on the download for an example of how great his voice still is.
1......That's how strong my love is.....3.20 ......Great version of this Otis Redding classic,Mick also sounds strangely like Steve Marriott in some places.
2......Turn back the hands of time.....2.32.......There is a great Motown bassline in this,one of the lesser known soul classics
3......I'd rather go blind....4.24.....A sterling performance of the old Christine Perfect hit.
4......Lonely Avenue......2.47.....This Doc Pomus song still sounds so good.
5.....I only have eyes for you......3.08.....the quality control drops herea dreary version of a putrid song.
6.....Tell it like it is......3.09......back on fom again.
7.....Baby what you want me to do.....2.02.....Great version of the classic.
8.......The girl that radiates that charm.....3.00.....This sounds like John Lennon in his "Rock'n'roll" phase.
9......Let me down easy......2.58......another fine performance
10.....Don't let me be misunderstood.......3.21.....a great version of this sixties favourite,good vocals on this .
11.....It's impossible......3.05.....Sadly the standard drops again,truly awful.
12.....Hope there's someone......3.38 ......another return to form,a beautiful song well performed

All in all, a good album with a couple of weak spots,but all tracks are sung wonderfully,and Micl looks alittle like Robert Plant on thr cover!

1.......Don't let me be misunderstood(Live).....4.01

3.0 out of 5 stars just my opinion 17 April 2013
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Somehow Mick does not sound the same without the rest of the guys. This album is OK but not fantastic. This is just my opinion.
