The
soundtrack
to the film
Talk to Me
is not an original score, but a compilation mostly made up of stellar tracks from the
Atlantic
soul
catalog. It's all hits, from
Sam & Dave
's
"Hold On, I'm Comin'"
to
Otis Redding
"Tramp,"
to cuts by
Arthur Conley
,
Archie Bell & the Drells
Booker T. & the MG's
and
Clarence Carter
. There are a few non-
cuts tossed into the mix like
James Brown
"I'm Black and I'm Proud,"
and a smoking read of
Gene McDaniels
'
"Compared to What,"
by
Me'Shell NdegeOcello
Terence Blanchard
to close the album with a bang. Any serious
fan has most of these cuts, but they still make for a great appetizer disc for a party. ~ Thom Jurek
