Piece Of My Heart\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Delaney & Bonnie's brand of soul-rock was firmly in place by the time of this 1969 album, the only one they recorded for Stax. Their following albums would gain greater exposure, but there's not much difference between this record and those subsequent efforts, except perhaps that this is more soul-oriented and less rock-oriented. That's not too surprising considering that members of Booker T. & the MG's are playing on most of the cuts, though a few were done in Hollywood with Leon Russell on keyboards and Carl Radle on bass. The material was a mixture of original songs and compositions from top Stax writers such as Steve Cropper, Isaac Hayes, and David Porter, though generally the songs weren't as grittily powerful or memorably hook-laden at the best stuff to come out of Stax in the late '60s. The cover of "Piece of My Heart" was bound to pass relatively unnoticed in the wake of Janis Joplin's wrenching hit cover of the song (with Big Brother & the Holding Company), and "Hard to Say Goodbye" seems like an attempt to push their sound in a slightly poppier direction, though not at all a bad one. The 2006 CD reissue resequenced the tracks and added six bonus songs, as well as historical liner notes. The reason for resequencing the order is uncertain, but the six additional cuts are welcome, as their sound and quality fit in fine with the rest of the record. If there's any difference between the bonus material and the songs that found a place on the initial release, it's that there's a greater emphasis on original compositions. Of those, "Get Ourselves Together" and "All We Really Want to Do" are both well up to the standards of the tracks that had been included on the LP. They also pointed a little more in a rock direction, and slightly away from the faithful adherence to the Stax sound that characterized the sessions. -- Richie Unterberger\n\nAmazon.com Product Description\nThe husband-and-wife duo of Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett created some of the most distinctive and unique music of the early 1970s, but their alchemical sound -- equal parts blue-eyed soul, blues, country, and gospel -- was often marginalized by the attention instead paid to the contributions of their famous "friends," including rock icons like Eric Clapton, Duane Allman and George Harrison. Included in Home are the songs 'It's Been a Long Time Coming' and 'Everybody Loves a Winner'. Ace. 2004.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nMemories, May 30, 2006\nReviewer: G. Holmes\nThis arrived the other day, I pre ordered it. Two of the greatest songwriters ever in my opinion. Its about time this was available on CD and here it is. Sounds great! Go get it for the collection.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW (Japanese Mini-LP CD Edition)\nGREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!!, July 16, 2001\nReviewer: W. Fred Evans "Fred" (Hampton, VA United States)\nI am proud to be the owner of the original LP. I think this album should be ranked as "Legendary." It's a priceless album and I am tickled to hear that this has finally been reissued on CD! Way to go!\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW (Japanese Mini-LP CD Edition)\nA Classic From Delaney & Bonnie, Long Unavailable IN U.S., May 18, 2001\nReviewer: Ronald E. Frankl "Ron Frankl" (New York, New York United States)\nThe second album by the white soul duo Delaney & Bonnie has been unavailable in the U.S. for about thirty years. This is unbelievable, as this is an album of excellent R & B, recorded with some of the best musicians in the business.\n\nDelaney & Bonnie are best known for their brief association with Eric Clapton ("On Tour"), but they recorded five other albums of excellent, convincing soul music. Their musicians went on to back Clapton, Leon Russell, Joe Cocker and others. Delaney Bramlett and then-wife Bonnie were both excellent vocalists and songwriters. Their music has held up well over the years, and "Home" is a fine acquisition to any R & B collection. If you can find it, that is. Currently, it's available only as this pricey Japanese import. For fans of this type of music, though, "Home" is worth any price.\n\nHalf.com N/A
