Product Description
Amazon.co.jp
クローバーの蜜のような声をしていたサム・クックは、アーティストであると同時に如才ないビジネスマンでもあった――洗練されたポップとディープなR&Bの境界線を注意深く越え、両分野のオーディエンスを自分のものにすると同時に、両者の橋渡し役となったのだ。
このセットのディスク1は、クックがキーン・レーベルに遺した1957~1959年の音源をまとめたもの。この時期、かつてゴスペル界の虎だったクックは、スイートでひと癖あるソングライターへと手なずけられ、甘い歌声を聴かせるスタンダードへと傾倒し、独特のヨーデルでどんな曲にも自分の刻印を押すようになった。ディスク2と3は、RCA時代のシングルとアルバム・トラックを扱っている。オーケストレーションの巧妙さもあって、これらのトラックは、ソウルのみならずロックの歴史においても不滅の足跡を残している。（「That's It, I Quit, I'm Movin' On」をエルヴィス・コステロの「Blame It On Cain」と比べてみて頂きたい！）最後のディスクには、クックのスタイルが極まった2枚のアルバムがまるごと収められている。『Night Beat』（閉店時間後が似合うクールなソウル）と「Live at the Harlem Square Club」（大声でオーディエンスをあおりまくるクック）だ。
クックのキャリア中期の概観として、このセット手ごたえ充分といえる。ただし、ソウル・スターラーズと共にゴスペルをシャウトしていた初期、および数々の名曲をレコーディングした晩期が抜け落ちている点は要注意。「Shake」や「A Change Is Gonna Come」といった晩期のヒット曲などは、驚くことに、いまだに入手できない状態にあるのだが。（Douglas Wolk, Amazon.com）
Amazon.com essential recording
Sam Cooke had a voice like clover honey, and he was as ingenious a businessman as he was an artist--carefully treading the line between smooth pop and deep R&B to bring both audiences to him, as well as together. Disc 1 of this set compiles his 1957-1959 recordings for the Keen label, which had tamed the former gospel tiger into a sweet, wry songwriter with a taste for crooning standards and a signature yodel that marked every song as his property. The second and third discs do the same for his RCA career's singles and album tracks, which, for all their orchestrated slickness, left an indelible mark on soul and even rock (compare "That's It, I Quit, I'm Movin' On" to Elvis Costello's "Blame It On Cain"!). Lastly, there's a disc with two complete albums from Cooke's stylistic poles: Night Beat (after-hours cool soul) and Live at the Harlem Square Club (Cooke as hard-hollering crowd mover). As a survey of the middle period of Cooke's career, this set is totally solid; be advised, though, that it skips over both his early years shouting gospel with the Soul Stirrers and the classic recordings from the last year or so of his life--which include hits such as "Shake" and "A Change Is Gonna Come" that are still, flabbergastingly, out of print. --Douglas Wolk
