Album Review
Two years after Emotions and three after his exceptional Sensual Journey, singer, songwriter and producer Will Downing returns with Soul Symphony. There is something utterly timeless about Downing's approach. His new soul m.o. brings his mellifluous baritone to the listener in a silky smooth yet beat driven tunnel of emotive reflection that goes right to the heart. Once more, Downing surrounds himself with the cream of the studio crop like Wah Wah Watson, Peanut Johnson on keyboards drummer Rex Rideout, bassist Melvin Davis just to mention a few. Downing wrote only about half the album this time out and on these tracks he collaborated with band members who wrote the majority of the rest. The album's beautiful hinge is the cover of Bonnie Bramlett's and Leon Russell's "Superstar." But the slippery syncopation of "Crazy Love," and the shimmering, acoustic guitar and hand drums that drive "Heart Of Mine," are stellar as well. There isn't any thing radically new here, but why should there be when Downing has reached as close to perfecting his sound as he's going to get. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
