Summary: This album takes you to the heart of soul........AMAZING!
Comment: From the first rip roaring song which is a cover of the classic Wilson Pickett number MUSTANG SALLY,
this CD is more than you could have possibly expected. The Commitments take you through the journey
of soul and in turn bring awareness of the respect to be given to such wonderful music. Andrew
Strong's vocal prescence is incredibly powerful, stirring all emotions into each song. The
arrangements of each song are clever and however hard you may imagine, they do manage to deliver.
This is no easy task, as they cover so many of the modern soul classics that people know and love.
Highlights on the album for me are the superb, adrenline filled versions of Mr Pitiful, Midnight
hour and Try a Litle tenderness, and in contrast, the beautiful and talented female vocals of do
right woman, do right man. THE MUSIC MADE THE FILM, AND THE MUSIC IS SOMETHING TO TREASURE.

Summary: Awesome gritty soul. Powerful. Great arrangements.
Comment: Andrew Strong's powerful vocals combined with the soulful backup vocals are perfected by the great
tight arrangements of these American Soul classics. The movie storyline is only fair but it's more
than made up for by the incredible music created by this band and singers. The hardest working
band in Dublin.

Summary: Brilliant
Comment: The best track on this C.D is certainly Mustang Sally. Just listening to it takes you back to the
film. Though all the others are superb too! Strong's version of Pickett's 'In the Midnight Hour'was
brilliant and still played in club's all round the country, wheras the version of Aretha
Franklin's 'Chain of Fools' was almost as gritty and heart felt as the original masterpiece!
