More Soul
More Soul is an album by jazz saxophonist Hank Crawford. Atlantic Records released the album in 1961. "More Soul" is Crawford's first album as a leader, recorded on October 7, 1960 while he was the music director in Ray Charles' group. Charles provided the arrangement for the track "The Story." Critical reception. Thom Jurek of allmusic gives the album a three-and-a-half star rating (of a possible five), noting that "[t]he material is swinging, front-ended, soul-inflected hard bop with tunes arranged by Crawford" and that "Crawford's tone as a soloist is sweet  yet edgy and raw, full of emotion and warmth." "The Penguin Guide to Jazz" describes the album as "sonorous and churchy in the Brother Ray mode…" and gives the album a three-star rating (of a possible four). In 1961, Ralph Gleason, in a review for "Down Beat", gave the album five stars. Track listing. All titles arranged by Hank Crawford, except where indicated.
