The Womack/ Sam Cooke legacy continues with a great new album on Daptone from the Womack Sisters, the daughters of Cecil and Linda Womack (Womack & Womack) and grand daughters of Sam Cooke. As you would expect with both their family and the label’s heritage , they have created a superb retro soul album that is likely to be amongst the best you will hear this year. The album consists of 11 well crafted soul songs , which sound as if they could have been recorded in the late 60s to early/mid 70s, beautifully and soulfully sung by the sisters and backed by the tightest of bands. ‘Chauffeur’ is a lovely mid tempo track. ‘If You Want Me’ is a standout mid tempo beat ballad with that 2-step kick. ‘Monster’, ‘Didn’t Mean Much To Me’ , ‘I Am Your Reason’ and ‘I Just Don’t Want You To Say Goodbye’ are slower ballads. ‘If You Let Me’ is an upbeat 60s dancer that will appeal to mod and Northern soul scenes. ‘My Sisters And Me’ has a real Sam Cooke gospel/soul approach. Really strong album Soul music with a capital S.
