Review

Bobby Purify a.k.a. Ben Moore, whose rich, melodious voice enhanced later hits by the duo James & Bobby Purify, has come out of retirement with the help of producer and songwriter Dan Penn and several legendary players of the American Soul era.

Better To Have It features thirteen new songs, twelve of which were written by Penn with Carson Whitsett and Hoy "Bucky" Lindsey. Purify/Moore also adds one of his own to the effort.

In producing the album, Penn requisitioned an R&B brain trust. Key members of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section (Spooner Oldham, keyboards; David Hood, bass; Jimmie Johnson, guitar) and others, such as Carson Whitsett of Malaco fame, keyboards; along with Reggie Young of Memphis, lead guitar; and Wayne Jackson of the Memphis Horns; come together on this 16-track analog recording with superb results.

Featuring liner notes by legendary producer Jerry Wexler, Better to Have It is the "Must-Have" Southern Soul Album of 2005.
