Our Take

Ah, The Big Beat - The Dave Bartholomew Songbook, a delightful compilation that pays tribute to the legendary songwriter and producer. Various artists come together to put their own spin on Bartholomew's timeless classics, resulting in an album that is as diverse as it is captivating.

You can expect to hear a mix of genres on this album, from rock 'n' roll to R&B to jazz. Each track is a testament to Bartholomew's incredible talent and the enduring power of his music. From the infectious groove of "I Hear You Knocking" to the soulful melodies of "Blue Monday," there is something for everyone on this record.

The artists featured on The Big Beat bring their A-game to each track, delivering performances that are both respectful of the original compositions and infused with their own unique style. Standout tracks include the electric energy of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings' rendition of "Shrimp and Gumbo" and the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Irma Thomas on "I'm Wise."

Overall, The Big Beat - The Dave Bartholomew Songbook is a must-have for any music lover. It is a celebration of a true musical genius and a reminder of the enduring influence of his work. So sit back, relax, and let the Big Beat wash over you - you won't be disappointed.
