Lloyd Price - The Best Of
Review by أبو حمد محمد
The Best Of by Lloyd Price is a timeless collection of the legendary artist's greatest hits. Featuring 18 tracks, this album showcases Price's impressive range as a singer, songwriter, and performer. From his early rock and roll hits like "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" and "Stagger Lee" to his soulful ballads like "Just Because" and "I Wish Your Picture Was You," this album has something for everyone.
Price's smooth vocals and catchy melodies are complemented by the tight instrumentation of his backing band, creating a sound that is both classic and contemporary. The album is expertly produced and mixed, with each track sounding crisp and clear.
One standout track is "Personality," which features Price's signature call-and-response vocals and a catchy horn riff that will have listeners dancing along. Another highlight is "Lady Luck," a soulful ballad that showcases Price's emotive singing style.
