While
Otis Redding
was already one of the biggest stars in
soul music
when he died in a tragic plane crash in 1967, as is some times the case his star rose considerably after his passing, and this 1969 release dusted off a set of unreleased tracks
Redding
had cut in 1967, one of which (the title cut) went on to become a sizable chart hit.
Love Man
doesn't hold together quite as well as
Redding
's best proper albums, such as
Otis Blue
and
Complete and Unbelievable: The Otis Redding Dictionary of Soul
, but it also manages to avoid sounding like a collection of out-takes and leftovers; as an album it's significantly stronger than the average
R&B
release of similar vintage, due to
Redding
's indefatigable energy and conviction as a vocalist and the ever-indomitable groove of
Steve Cropper
,
Al Jackson, Jr.
, and the other members of the
Stax Records
studio crew. If
Love Man
is flawed, it's not a matter of execution so much as material; while
Redding
's originals are good, none are quite up to the standards of
"Cigarettes and Coffee"
or
"My Lover's Prayer"
, and covers like
"A Lover's Question"
and
"(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher"
are not ideally suited to
Redding
's style. But even the flawed material helps prove just how strong
edding
's work was, even under less than ideal circumstances, and
Love Man
makes it clear he never gave less than %110 percent in the studio. ~ Mark Deming, All Music Guide
