Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Cover bands often make for a great, drunken party night out; it's far rarer that they translate enthusiasm successfully onto vinyl. The Commitments succeed where others fail because (i) they never make the fatal mistake of trying to duplicate the original, (ii) they have such an obvious passion for their craft, and (iii) in Andrew Strong they have a great, gritty, Joe Cocker-style frontman. (The Blues Brothers, for example, fall down badly on this last front.) Volume 2 is partly songs from the eponymous movie and partly new recordings. Strong's attempts to grapple with Little Milton's "Grits Ain¹t Groceries" and Otis Redding's "Sad Song" are a delight to hear, while Angeline Bell does herself proud on a ribald version of "Too Many Fish In The Sea". A surprisingly consistent collection. --Everett True

4.0 out of 5 stars A good followup to commitments number 1, 13 Jan 2002
By A Customer
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
This review is from: Soundtrack: "The Commitments" (Audio CD)
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)      
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!

The best track on this C.D is certainly Mustang Sally. Just listening to it takes you back to the film. Though all the others are superb too! Read more
