Bobby Womack: Soul Seduction Supreme

Soul star Bobby Womack blows away a thrilled audience with his raw vitality and mature vocal style in this concert filmed during the late ‘90s at London's Town & Country Club, marred only by tedious, life-on-the-road documentary segments inserted between the nine songs. Despite the constant loss of momentum, however, Soul Seduction Supreme offers some very fine moments, including the energetic R&B excitement of Womack's classic "Lookin' for a Love," the sensual funk of "Woman's Gotta Have It," and the epic "Harry Hippie" (a fine duet with Alltrina Grayson). The snap of "It's All Over Now," the midnight confessions of "I Wish He Didn't Trust Me So Much," and the overwhelming power of "How Can It Be?" also help make this Dolby Digital 5.1-backed concert a solid title for fellow soul survivors.
