Ultra-solid support from guitarists Anson Funderburgh, Eugene Ross, Ronnie Earl, and Earl King and Black Top’s superb house horn section make this Dallas-cut set Brown’s best contemporary album to date. His lusty shouting style works well on covers of the Dominoes’ “Have Mercy Baby,” the “5″ Royales’ title track, a pair of Earl King-penned numbers, and Robert Ward’s “Your Love Is Real.” – Bill Dahl
