5.0 out of 5 stars
a forgotten classic,
By
This review is from: Connections (Audio CD)
I really cannot recommend this album too highly. Richie's compositional skills are not very much in evidence here but what we have is his wonderful soulfully relaxed voice and some superb original arrangements for some outstanding songs.
I have lived with this album for more than twenty five years and I can truthfully say it is never boring. His version of the old Bob Seeger "We've Got tonight" is richly, luxuriously definitive. His warm soothing vocals revive Sam Cook's "You Send Me" and his phrasing and timing on "Mama we're gonna dance" are spot on. I's a warm sensitive album by a very underrated singer who has delivered the goods since Woodstock back in '69. It's not an easy album to get hold of but if you all order it they'll probably keep re issuing it!

FINALLY!,

So glad someone has finally seen fit to get this album out on cd. The classic track " Going Back To My Roots" has been a club hit in Europe since it came out, and almost impossible to find in print. The cover art (Richie Havens gazing at a blurry World Trade Center) is truly surreal. More re-releases from this great artist please!

For true fans only,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Connections (Audio CD)
This is a reissue of Richie's 1981 release, originally on the Elektra label. It represents the beginning of Richie's foray into the pop arena. Although I am a big Richie Havens fan, I've got to say that this album doesn't suit him at all. There are a couple of gems, however. "Going Back To My Roots" is a real toe-tapper, while "She Touched My Heart" and "Here's A Song" are nice ballads. On the whole, this record is largely forgettable and really only for the completist that has to have everything Richie has done. Tracklisting: 1. Mama We're Gonna Dance 2. Every Night (Paul McCartney cover) 3. You Send Me (Sam Cooke cover) 4. We've Got Tonight (Bob Seger cover) 5. Ol' 55 (Tom Waits cover) 6. Going Back To My Roots 7. Dreams (Fleetwood Mac cover) 8. She Touched My Heart 9. Fire Down Below (Bob Seger cover) 10. Here's A Song |
