Ike & Tina Turner And The Ikettes - Come Together Mp3

A favorite of mine as well.Great vibe on this album.

This is my and my wife's favourite record of all time. Ironic I know considering it is Ike and Tina. But the wife turned me on to this album when we first started going out. I, like many, had been scared off of Ike and Tina by the much repeated accounts of Ike's despicable actions as a husband. When I put this record on, the actions of the artist went out the window and I was left with the music. Late 60s classic blues riff rock crossed with the very best soul and funk of the time. Topped with a voice of such beauty and pain (check out my wife's fave Unlucky Creature). The covers are the worst of the album (Evil Man excepted). It's Ike and Tina's originals that capture a zeitgeist in the crossroads of the finest music of that time (all time?). I later gleaned an understanding why while reading Keith Richards' bio. We've all seen Gimme Shelter, so we know Ike and Tina toured with the Stones. During that tour, Ike saw Keith working with a guitar tuning he (in his career since the dawn of rock) had never come across. Ike took this Stones vibe into the studio with Tina and this album is the result. (Pick to click for me Young and Dumb) - Regicide
