Our Take

BROOK BENTON The Singles Collection 1955-62 Review:

Brook Benton, oh Brook, where do we begin? The smooth crooner with a voice like honey dripping from a hot biscuit has captured our hearts once again with this collection of singles from 1955 to 1962.

From the moment the needle drops on "A Million Miles from Nowhere," you're transported to a world where heartache reigns supreme and love is a fickle mistress. Benton's soulful delivery and impeccable phrasing make each track feel like a warm embrace on a cold winter's night.

Tracks like "It's Just a Matter of Time" and "Endlessly" showcase Benton's ability to convey raw emotion with just a few words and a melody that lingers in your ears long after the record stops spinning.

But it's not all tears and heartbreak with Brook Benton. Songs like "Kiddio" and "The Boll Weevil Song" bring a playful energy to the mix, showing off Benton's versatility as both a balladeer and a fun-loving entertainer.

So, if you're in the mood for some classic R&B with a touch of soul, look no further than Brook Benton's The Singles Collection 1955-62. It's a journey through time filled with love, loss, and everything in between. So grab a glass of bourbon, sink into your favorite armchair, and let Brook Benton serenade you into the night. Cheers, old chap!
