Review: Soul Men: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

When it comes to Soul music, this soundtrack has a little bit of everything: old Soul, new Soul, new Soul masquerading as old Soul, old Soul redone and made new - you name it. It's hard to tell the brand-new Soul songs from the remakes on the Soul Men movie soundtrack, and in this case, that's a good thing. Because all the music - old and new alike - is supposed to evoke the feel of classic, early '60s Soul. And the various artists here, including Anthony Hamilton, Leela James, Ryan Shaw and Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, do a solid job of using the recording booth as a time machine to take us back to the past.
