An Evening of Soulful Love Songs

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Light a few candles, turn down the lights and get ready to be seduced by the silky smooth voice of a consumate artist. Lou Rawls' voice is deep, sultry and yes oh so smooth. From the first song, a duet with Dianne Reeves of 'At Last' to his bluesy renditions of 'Good Morning Blues' and 'This Bitter Earth' to his cool but soulful 'Good Night My Love' you'll keep wanting more and more.Although, I was initially hesitant to purchase a Lou Rawls' CD that didn't contain some of his better known material I'm so happy I did. This CD is such a gem that I keep listening to it over and over again. Whether you're spending an evening alone or with someone, this CD helps to set the ambience for a great interlude or the focal point for an evening of romance."
Lou sings some beautiful jazz ballads on this CD.

"Lou Rawls sings some beautiful jazz ballads on this CD and his warm, soulful and smooth voice make them all become his. While not up to the level of his Philadelphia International works, "Ballads" is a great CD from one of the best romantic singers of our time."
