Z.Z. Hill - Z.Z.Hill - Japan CD

Z.Z.Hill

Description:

This is the first album by Z.Z. Hill, a Sam Cooke-type singer since the 1960s, after his move to Malaco, and is a masterpiece that triggered Z.Z. Hill's late breakthrough and the revival of Southern Soul in the 1980s. The album features some of the best deep ballads, including "Please Don't Make Me (Do Something Bad to You)" and an emotional cover of his idol Sam Cooke's classic "Bring It On Home to Me," as well as other slow ballads that showcase the singer's vocal prowess. The last part of the album is a bluesy tune. Including the blues number recorded towards the end of the album, the wide range of inspirations from Bobby Bland to Sam Cooke, and the proficiency of the singer, will surely impress even the most discerning soul fans.
