Album Review

Most people expected Simply Red to have popped up on VH1's Where Are They Now? at any moment, but Home is their eighth proper album. Finding a niche as Jamiroquai for the smooth jazz set, they've released album after album while living off the worldwide success of Stars. Home looks like a return to form with Mick Hucknall taking over a good amount of the production and releasing the album on his own label, Simplyred.com, although an outside producer might have given them an extra kick in their velour pants. However, despite the album's weak moments, there's the genuine sweetness of "Home," the lavish funkiness of "Fake," and the profound and moving "Home Loan Blues." When the band masterfully slinks its way through Dennis Brown's "Money in My Pocket," all sorts of Picture Book flashbacks appear. Home gives half an album's worth of reasons to cheer for Simply Red.

Customer Reviews

someone who thought money's too tight was freddie mercury first time i heard it.....

a very brief review, just to say there are some decent, and predictable (nothing wrong with that), simply red songs on here however the album is totally worth buying for one song only; the magnificent cover of 'Positively 4th Street'....enjoy

You make me feel brand new.......

Saw Simply Red preform this live back in 2003 at Leeds castle... Fantastic live CD does them justice... Love it

Great! Just great!

Without a doubt, this is the best Simply Red album. Some superb cover songs "Positively 4th Street" and "You Make Me Feel Brand New" by Bob Dylan and The Stylistics respectively. However, my personal favourite track is the superb jazz song "Home Loan Blues" - it is one of my favourite songs of all time! If any issue, the "Money In My Pocket (Plan B Mix)" seems an odd inclusion and doesn't really conform to the album's nature and overall cohesion. The album is brilliant - buy and enjoy!
