Our Take

In the annals of music history, few artists have managed to straddle the line between soulful crooner and gritty rocker quite like Arthur Alexander. And on his latest compilation album, "Monument Years," we see the full breadth of his musical prowess on display.

From the moment the needle drops on the opening track, "Anna (Go to Him)," Alexander's velvety vocals transport us to a bygone era of classic R&B. The infectious groove of "You Better Move On" proves that Alexander can get us moving just as easily as he can tug at our heartstrings.

But what truly sets "Monument Years" apart is the sheer range of emotions that Alexander is able to evoke in just a few short tracks. From the raw, unbridled passion of "Soldier of Love" to the tender vulnerability of "Every Day I Have to Cry Some," each song feels like a window into the soul of a man who has truly lived and loved.

And let's not forget the production on this album - it's as slick and polished as a freshly waxed dance floor. The lush string arrangements and punchy horns give each track a timeless quality that is sure to withstand the test of time.

In conclusion, "Monument Years" is a must-listen for any fan of classic soul and R&B. Arthur Alexander may not be a household name, but his music speaks for itself - and it speaks volumes.
