Sammy Thomas - Three Years Volume I

Review by Kathy Drewien

Sammy Thomas' latest album, Three Years Volume I, is a stunning collection of soulful tracks that showcase the artist's impressive range and emotional depth. With a mix of original compositions and covers, Thomas's powerful vocals and impeccable musicality shine through on every track.

The album opens with "I Can't Help Myself," a soulful rendition of the classic Four Tops hit, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Thomas's lush, velvety voice is complemented by a rich, full-bodied instrumentation that is both dynamic and nuanced.

Throughout the album, Thomas displays an impressive versatility, moving effortlessly between upbeat, danceable tracks like "Love Train" and more introspective ballads like "Something's Got a Hold on Me." Each song is expertly arranged and performed, with Thomas's vocals taking center stage and the backing musicians providing a solid foundation for his soaring melodies.

One standout track is "If You Don't Know Me By Now," a poignant ballad that showcases Thomas's ability to convey deep emotion through his voice alone. The stripped-down arrangement allows his vocals to shine, highlighting the raw power and vulnerability of his performance.
