The Impressions - Ridin High

Review by irish gayle ingco

Ridin High is an album by the American soul group Impressions, released in 1966. The album features a collection of upbeat and soulful tracks that showcase the group's vocal harmonies and musical prowess.

The album's title track, "Ridin High," sets the tone for the rest of the record with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. Other standout tracks include "I Need You," a soulful ballad that highlights the group's vocal range, and "I Can't Stay Away from You," a funky track that features a driving bass line and infectious rhythm.

I THINK CURTIS WAS GRESTIST SONG WRITER EVER

lsievert 2023-04-11

What the impressions are doing js called crooning, only the old school know what i'm talking about. Our era of music will never die, and that's a fact!

EXACTLY what I expected, when you put Curtis and Company on it...Epic in its own special way. And I love how simple the arrangement is, yet the drama is still there!
