REVIEW
by Bruce Eder
An absolutely first-rate album made up of the earliest recordings of the Cate Brothers, predating their debut on Asylum Records by several years. The sounds are melodic yet raw, and very, very soul-oriented, with a lean and muscular edge to the playing and singing alike -- overall, the music is reminiscent of the Band in its prime years, only smoother when they need to be, with some interesting touches, such as their brilliant covers of the Beatles' "Let It Be" and Ray Charles' "Yes Indeed," and the decidedly dissonant lead guitar flourish on "When Love Comes" (in a version predating the rendition they did for Asylum); and when horns enter the picture, as on "I Got to Be Your Man," it seems like a natural fit, like a lost Stax/Volt offshoot. The sound is excellent, and the annotation, though a little disjointed, is fascinating. An essential record, even for non-fans of the group.
