Album Review
Nappy Brown is a survivor, an R&B pioneer from the mid-'50s who had hit records for Savoy before drifting away into obscurity after 1962. He made a short-lived comeback in the '80s and then was off records again for many years before recording Long Time Coming in May of 2007. Nappy Brown is still in prime voice throughout this spirited set. In addition to a variety of blues (including an acoustic "Cherry Red"), blues ballads, and some vintage R&B, he is quite effective singing soul (which he predated) on "Give Me Your Love" and a gospel piece, "Take Care of Me." With the fiery playing of guitarist Sean Costello egging him on along with the drive of the other sidemen, Nappy Brown is heard throughout at the top of his game. He certainly does not sound 78.
Customer Reviews
Simply top-notch
It's obvious from this recording that after all these years, Nappy Brown has still got it. He sings his heart out on this, especially "The Right Time". The start of his career predates rock and roll, but his powerful voice and the expertise of the band make all these songs sound fresh. "Don't Be Angry" sounds better than the original, I think. How refreshing to buy an album that has no duds. I can't wait for his next one.
