Week Thirty Nine...............Huey Lewis and the News ..............Soulsville - gryphon - 29-10-2010
Huey Lewis And The Newsâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦Soulsville
Track One Donât Flight Itâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦.At the moment it seems very trendy to go back into your past to produce an album and Huey is no exceptionâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦.Here we have travelled back to the days of deep soul music and one can almost see the Blues brothers performing this oneâ¦.horns, deep soul voice and gospel backing.
Track Two Got To Get You Off My Mind: Nice gentle almost reggae beat track, which is soft and easy. Nice to swing along to and shows Hueyâs mellow melodic side.
Track Three News Free: Slow moody track , with good sax backing.
Track Four Respect Yourself: Comfortable track, with a good bass hook, somehow I expected a cover version of something here but it is not one!
Track Five Cry To Me : An authentic soul hook and gravelly voice drive this along. It has a great feel and some nice doo woop backing vocals . I like this track a lot !
Track Six Just One More Day : Sounds like âIâve Been Loving You Too Longâ . It has the same stand alone vocal style and the slow powerful backing . Another nice track!
Track Seven Never Found A Girl: A copy of grooving by the Young Rascals underlies this track but, it still has an identity of its own and a great feel !
Track Eight Soulsville: The Title track, and for this one we have a close little number with an intimate sound. Soul is always good when it gets personal and Huey can do that real well
Track Nine Little Sally Walker: A good bopping track with the aim of provoking people to dance.
Track Ten I Want To Do ( Everything For You )You Really Got A Hold On Me clone, but, I feel that Smokie would approve !
Track Eleven Just The One ( Iâve Been Looking For ) Slow and easy temp song, with a swinging groove which evokes the slower end of The Northern Soul Classics of the seventies. Nice and Nostalgic !
Track Twelve Donât Let The Green Grass Fool You: Catchy finger clicking soul , lost love themes and We get a soul sob story!
Track Thirteen Never Like This Before: A driving rhythm and strong vocals make this a good track to listen to add a skipping beat and Huey has winner here!
Track Fourteen Grab This Thing: Here we are at the last cut on the album: Snorting sax and a slow walking the dog rhythm bring us to the conclusionâ¦â¦â¦â¦.all done with great style and a wonderful soul feel â¦â¦â¦â¦True instrumental soul at its bestâ¦â¦â¦..now there is something I really like!!!!!
At the end of my review I liked this album and would strongly recommend it to anyone who likes soul music !
:happy:

Not only that, but he is also known for excellent 'Back To the Future' movie sound track called Power of Love.
Good album, with 'Just One More Day' being my favorite track on the record.
