Description:
Hold On to Me
is the fifth studio album by Australian rock band The Black Sorrows. It's the
group's first album to feature the vocals of Vika and Linda Bull.
Rudyard Kennedy
from AllMusic gave the album a positive review saying; "Joe Camilleri and
company may borrow many of the same ingredients that James Morrison uses to
make his music -- blues, soul, and R&B, as well as flashes of gospel,
country, folk, and even Brill building pop -- but the trick is in mixing those
well-worn ingredients together and coming up with something new. That's where
Black Sorrows show that they're fit to be mentioned in the same breath with
artists like Van Morrison and the Rolling Stones. Every song on Hold On to Me
sounds like it could be a classic (and classy) radio staple, without sounding
like a copy of anything else. Not only is Hold On to Me's literate songwriting
(by Camilleri and lyricist Nick Smith) superb, but the playing is also
uniformly excellent (and, at times, positively inspired), and vocalists
Camilleri and Vika and Linda Bull are soulful and gritty throughout. Hold On to
Me deserves to be remembered as more than just an Australian classic -- this is
a record that deserves to be heard and hailed by music fans the world
over." Double LP Released in a gatefold cover with two printed inner
sleeves. Includes a bonus 12" near mint
