Mighty Sam McClains Give It Up To Love is one of the great soul records. Stereophile
Mighty Sam is a rhythm and blues legend who shook up the blues world with this 1993 release. The great torch bearer of deep soul is caught in top form on this classic album. And now, this gatefold 2LP 45 RPM edition presented by Analogue Productions makes the album even greater!
The four sides of wider-spaced grooves make for reduced distortion and better high frequency reproduction. Its a 180-gram masterpiece from our own Quality Record Pressings, our state-of-the-art LP pressing plant. And the gatefold jacket is hard-core, old-school style thick cardboard, tip-on, with additional photos and liner notes inside. Sweet.
McClain sings soul with incredible power he knows when to pull the punches and when to cool it down. Give It Up to Love, the title track, acknowledges his gospel roots; he performs it as a vocal prayer to God asking for wisdom, love, and strength. Bruce Katzs contributions on B-3 Hammond organ expands McClains sound, particularly on the Green Onions-influenced What You Want Me to Do. The sparsely effective arrangement on Here I Go Falling in Love Again brings McClain up front as he cries of being a soul stripped to the bare bones. Kevin Barrys funky bass blows while McClain declares himself as a child of God in Child of the Mighty Mighty.’ AllMusic
