Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Based on Irish writer Roddy Doyle's novel and lovingly directed with admirable restraint by the sometimes bombastic Alan Parker, this quirky 1991 tribute to the enduring and universal power of American R&B took some cynical criticism for its reliance on Baby Boomer-era classics such as "Mustang Sally", "Take Me to the River", and "In the Midnight Hour". But that sword cuts two ways: by casting a motley crew of real musicians, including the guts 'n' gravel-voiced young vocalist Andrew Strong, Parker didn't have to do much coaxing to reveal the obvious respect and affection his players have for this music. The material may not be fresh, but the love with which it's played is timeless. --Jerry McCulley

4.0 out of 5 stars A good followup to commitments number 1, 13 Jan 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Commitments Vol.2 (Audio CD)

After listening to commitments number 1, and watching the movie lots of times I was had specific ideas on what i expected from a follow-up album. This comes pretty close. Some old favourates of any one who likes soul appear here, but the band give something of themsleves into the recording that make this album a must for anyone who has number 1 in their collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars addictive listening, 21 Mar 2001

By A Customer

After watching the film, many times, felt compelled to purchase the cd, glad I did - brilliant listening, totally addictive, and with a unique sound of their own, have sinced copied it for the car. Tried to purchase Andrew Strong's debut cd but with no luck, still waiting

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality soul for a good time, 22 Mar 2004

By	Andy Millward (Broxbourne, Herts, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Commitments Vol.2 (Audio CD)

Not quite as dynamic as the first volume, but still pretty good. Perhaps the song selection isn't quite so effective, but the results are strong throughout. Good time music with the soul label scores again!
