Kicking off with their signature song ‘Soul Man’, Soul Men delivers an album filled with brass-laden, chunky Southern soul, peppered with some intense, deep ballads. Booker T & the MGs and the Memphis Horns are in prime form, turning out a tight, lean, strutting and highly effective soul backing and Sam & Dave never miss a chance to shout, scream and testify, in-between their harmonising with each other. It’s big, brash, unashamedly southern-fried soul.
