Customer Reviews

The Debaters soundtrack
This CD is such a great find.I haven't seen the movie yet but wanted the soundtrack after I heard a single track on the radio.If you like down home gospel,rhythm and blues get set for ear candy.

An album of the year and for the ages
The perfect Saturday night, Sunday morning CD. Sexy, Soulful and Signifying-- the delicious deep throated elegance of Sharon Jones previously known for her work with the Dap Kings...but here wrapped around Alvin Youngblood Hart from the part of Memphis that makes it the capitol of Mississippi, and the Carolina Chocolate Drops...these recordings shout back to the past and out to the future...showing us where blues has been and where it wants to go...hotter than Saturday night and cleaner than Sunday morning it will get you dancing around your own kitchen and loving on somebody.

If you've seen the movie, you've got to get the soundtrack
If you haven't seen the movie, you should. In my opinion, "The Great Debaters" was one of 2007's best and sadly underrated.

The music's a mix of gospel, blues, and soul from Memphis to Carolina. You've got old time greats like Alvin Youngblood and folks who you'll see on the current charts like Sharon Jones.

"That's what my Baby Likes," (Sharon Jones) is a strong bluesy song about a man treating the woman he loves like the queen she deserves to be.

I'd never heard the Carolina Chocolate Drops before and I wish there was more than just "I've Got Blood in my Eyes for You," on this collection. Great old timey music sounds like it just came off someone's Victrola.

"The Shout" by Art Tatum is an original recording of the ragtime instrumental. Dare you to sit still and listen to this song.

The music's Sunday morning uplifting to Saturday down and dirty fun. Give the samples a listen--and if you haven't seen the film, check it out as well:
