Album Notes

BOBBY HARDEN's powerful live show has gotten him opening slots with Solomon Burke, Howard Tate, Ben E. King and frequent performances with the Uptown Horns.

"Bobby Harden's breath-taking voice has brought him his nickname, 'The Soul Man from NY.'" -TZ Newspaper, Munich

"Soul, blues and full of spirit; like so many other musicians, Bobby Harden started singing in church at an early age. You can still recognize the spiritual roots in his songs. His R&B and his soul has already brought him from Hong Kong to Munich, Germany." -Abendzeitung Newspaper, Munich

"This New Yorker offers a soul that could have come from a Southern studio 20 years ago. Absolutely not that it's out of date - on the contrary, there is a freshness and a punch that immediately grabs the listener." -Soul Bag magazine, France

"...a wonderful voice that conveys the lyrics [he] sings beautifully. [He] must get mad respect from [his] peers." -Hosh Gureli, Senior Director, A&R, Arista Records

"...a high, intense delivery that recalls Little Johnny Taylor and Otis Rush." -Living Blues, NY

"Bobby Harden is one of the finest singers heard in ages...nothing short of brilliant." -River Reporter, NY

An essential album, buy it and love it.

Wow, this was the first word that came to my mind after pressing play button in my CD player. Bobby Harden’s voice is one of the sweetest ones on the scene, both the past one and the present one. A voice made to sing soul music. His songs are interesting and arrangements are catchy. The song "What Do You Call It?" should become a classic, as popular as "Soul Man", "In The Midnight Hour" or "Dark End Of The Street". For deep soul lovers this is an essential album. Buy it and love it.
