Bobby Womack (1976) Behind Closed Doors

The soul superstar Bobby Womack cut an album of Country and Western songs in the mid 70s aptly titled BW goes CW(1976), bringing his signature  take on soul music to a different type of music; it was considered a critical misstep however once you get past an initial scepticism the majority of songs work. Bobby Womack's relaxed vocals and oriental slide guitar mix well with the bluesy, rootsy material whilst also adding touches of heavy rock n roll and belting out soulful vocal ticks along the way. He adds a latent emotion and power to the songs while some slip note piano and pedal steel compliment his down-hearted vocals well.

Behind Closed Doors, a classic country hit never sounded as good as hear with Womack's warm, tender vocals bringing more range to the song and breathing more life into it's dour original. Go listen and reappraise this effort for yourself!
