Description
Soul Men contains only one major single: the anthemic title song and its B-side, the charming “May I Baby.” Among the first-class album tracks never released as singles were “Rich Kind of Poverty,” the punchy “Hold It Baby,” and the gospel-drenched ballads “Just Keep Holding On” and “I’ve Seen What Loneliness Can Do.” This is one of these records that feels live because of its crackling energy. For those with more than a casual interest in Memphis soul, Soul Men is highly recommended.
