For Sweet People from Sweet Charles

Released

The only album from JBs multi-instrumentalist and singer “Sweet” Charles Sherrell, this superior collection blends a sweet, romantic vision of soul with some seriously funk-filled backing tracks. The JBs, mostly arranged here by their trombonist Fred Wesley, are in perfectly-synced form as demonstrated on a superbly percussive take on Sam and Dave’s ‘Soul Man’. Band leader Wesley does a stellar job of rearranging old R’n’B songs like ‘Chris Kenner’s ‘I Like It Like That’ and album highlight ‘Yes It’s You’, essentially completely rewriting and arranging them into entirely new productions.
