'Out of Our Souls' is a great CD - as it has this stuff in addition to their usual great ballad fare.
"Harlem Shuffle" is especially good, and their version of "Big Boy Pete" !?!?!?!?! It might even be a different song than the one by the Coasters. You won't believe how bluesy it sounds, and how good the arrangement is, especially the horn charts! Those horn players really lay into the licks! What incredible harmonic dissonance . . . I really have rarely (if ever) heard anything so good.
"Little Latin Lupe Lu" is much better than Mitch Ryder's version, and almost as good as the Kingsmen's, though very, very different. Bill Medley actually wrote it, so their version was the original. Similar spirit as the Kingsmen's, but a little more inventive - edgier in the hook department, and with horns instead of organ.
"Justine" is downright hilarious - like twin white boy Little Richard's singing together, and purt near as intense.
Hard to quantity how amazingly well they rip into Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to You" - almost mortifyingly excellent.
This type of stuff of theirs has great instrument players, great charts, buttery backup vocalists, as good as or better than what was served up for for people like Maxine Brown, Don Covay*, and the like - you won't want to miss it, at least I don't think so . . .
*[Sorry - Covay did all his own back-up vocalisms - he was, (what?), incredibly versatile.]
