Lou Rawls - Unmistakably Lou

The title really says it all. Lou Rawls possessed one of the greatest voices of the 20th century—a baritone so smooth and deep it could rattle the ice in your glass. Unmistakably Lou finds him right in the sweet spot of his late-70s era, backed by the lush, sophisticated production of the Philadelphia International hit-making machine. The arrangements are gorgeous, dripping with elegant strings and tight, funky basslines that perfectly cradle Rawls' effortless, conversational phrasing. It’s mature, romantic R&B that sounds incredibly warm and luxurious on vinyl. Pure velvet.
