The Chambers Brothers - The Time Has Come

This platter’s dynamic remastering has resulted in a true audiophile reissue of the classic 1967 LP. A combination of raw soul, funk, blues and gospel collides on the best-known track, the closing Time Has Come Today, while the energy of the Brothers’ vocal harmonies give them a bite all of their own on the self-penned I Can’t Stand It. They kick back and chill on Curtis Mayfield’s glorious People Get Ready, one of a number of covers where the group completely owns the song. Their superlative take on In The Midnight Hour changes the face of the classic, stamping The Chambers Brothers’ own personality upon it, providing a less coarse delivery, yet retaining the passion while adding a seamless swing.
