Music reviews of Complete Recordings of Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirrers

Music Review: Essential Collection....But what's with the pricing?!
Rating: 5 Stars

This wonderful collection showcases the legendary Sam Cooke while he was in the process of discovering the style he would soon change pop music history with. The brilliance of the listening experience, in my opinion, happens in the details. Listen to the way that Sam instinctually fills in the pockets of the songs, with the rest of the Soul Stirrers providing a beautiful, consistent back-drop. Even when Sam is not the lead vocalist, his ability to turn a phrase and ornament a melody is uncanny. Again, the real treats are in the details.

But what's with Amazon's price changes? I have borrowed this collection from friends and libraries for so long that I finally decided to buy it for myself, but the price keeps jumping from the very reasonable $19.99, to the not so reasonable current price of $29.99. Granted, $30 is pretty standard for a box set, but what I'm confused about is the price fluctuation. Why does that happen?

Description of Complete Recordings of Sam Cooke with the Soul Stirrers

While the pop classics by the grit-and-honey singer reached a broader audience, Sam Cooke's formative music with the Soul Stirrers, recorded for the Specialty label, ranks with both his best and gospel's best. Only 19 when he was recruited in 1950 to replace the group's venerable R.H. Harris, Cooke developed the signature style he would carry into the popular arena while he was still singing church music. Disc 1 shows the raw passion of a vocalist who has yet to apply the polish for which he would become known. By disc 2, Cooke is no longer tentative in replacing a legend but asserting an irrepressible musical identity. Disc 3 demonstrates his growth as both a vocal master and an ambitious songwriter--most famously on "Touch the Hem of His Garment"--while documenting his transition as a solo artist into the secular arena. Among the revelations of the set's 83 tracks, the stripped-down arrangements on the alternate takes of "Come and Go to That Land" anticipate the rise of "sacred steel," while the vocal call-and-response over the organ bedrock of "All Right Now" is as rapturous as gospel gets. After the various takes of "Were You There?" show how Cooke could take the most familiar material and make it his own, the final three tracks capture his electrifying impact in live performance. --Don McLeese
