▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ellis Hooks may only be in his late 20's but he has ▓▌
▓████▓▌ been plying his trade as a singer and songwriter ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for several years. For his debut album, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Undeniable," Hooks was teamed up with producer Jon ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Tiven, the man who brought success back to Wilson ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Pickett with "It's Harder Now." The links to the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ great soul singers do not end there either, since ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hooks' label (Zane) was also the home of the late ▓▌
▓████▓▌ (and great) soul singer Eddie Hinton (who like ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Hooks was from Alabama), and both vocally owe a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ debt to the mighty Otis Redding. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The opener, "Something 4 Everyone," hits you right ▓▌
▓████▓▌ between the eyes. It is a very powerful, hard ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hitting tune, that sounds like an oldie, but like ▓▌
▓████▓▌ all of the tunes here was penned by Hooks along ▓▌
▓████▓▌ with Tiven and his wife, who also play guitar and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ bass. Hooks is equally home on gentler, more subtle ▓▌
▓████▓▌ material such as the ensuing "Everything's Falling ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Around Me" which, like many of the songs here, has ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a catchy chorus. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Most of the album's best moments come on the tracks ▓▌
▓████▓▌ where things are slightly more restrained. "Blaze ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Up The Town," "Your Love Is Too Strong," and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Waiting For The Rapture" in particular, are all ▓▌
▓████▓▌ worthy of special mention. On these songs Hooks' ▓▌
▓████▓▌ voice is allowed to more naturally come to the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ fore, using power and punch only to add emphasis. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Although Hooks' natural territory is soul, there is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ a brace of bluesier numbers. The autobiographical ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "I Been There" is fairly straight blues, and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ features some fine muddy harp courtesy of Mason ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Casey. In addition, the penultimate track, "Your ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Last Chance," rattles along at the same tempo as ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Junior Parker's "Mystery Train," almost veering ▓▌
▓████▓▌ into rockabilly territory. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ The closer, "Burnt By The Flame Of Love," rounds ▓▌
▓████▓▌ off in style, and leaves you wanting more. This is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the sort of song where Hooks sounds most at ease, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ad libbing as he goes along, like it was a live ▓▌
▓████▓▌ show. Pay close attention, however, otherwise it ▓▌
▓████▓▌ sounds like it ends mid-track. On closer listen, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ however, there is a subtle keying into the ending ▓▌
▓████▓▌ just before it happens. Then lean over, and hit the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ play button again! ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Ellis Hooks has to be in with a shout for best male ▓▌
▓████▓▌ vocalist of the year, being in possession of one of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the finest grittiest soul voices around. The rocky ▓▌
▓████▓▌ edge to several of the tracks may not be to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ everyone's taste, although it is something of a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ trademark of Tiven's production style. Several of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the songs also need a full horn section to do them ▓▌
▓████▓▌ justice. These are minor qualms, however, since ▓▌
▓████▓▌ "Undeniable" rates among the very best debut albums ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of the year. ▓▌
