Our Take
Our Take
Ah, CHECKMATES LTD., what a blast from the past! Their album "All Alone By The Telephone" may have been released in 1967, but let me tell you, it's still as fresh as ever. This Motown group sure knows how to deliver those smooth harmonies and infectious hooks.
From the moment the needle drops on the opening track, "All Alone By The Telephone," you're transported to a time when soul music ruled the airwaves. The title track is a perfect example of their signature sound – soulful vocals, tight instrumentals, and lyrics that hit you right in the feels.
But don't let the nostalgia fool you, CHECKMATES LTD. were way ahead of their time. Tracks like "Landslide" and "It Ain't Necessarily So" showcase their versatility and musical chops. The arrangements are intricate, the production is top-notch, and the performances are absolutely electric.
And let's not forget about lead singer Sonny Charles – the man's voice is like butter, smooth and rich, with just the right amount of grit. He commands your attention from start to finish, effortlessly gliding through each song with soul and style.
So, if you're in the mood for a trip down memory lane or just want to discover some classic soul, do yourself a favor and give "All Alone By The Telephone" a spin. CHECKMATES LTD. may have been flying under the radar for too long, but this album proves they're the real deal.
