Bobby Womack
'The Greatest Soul Singer in the World' is coming to Australia for the first time with a story to tell.
Overview
What can anybody write about the impending arrival of a legend? What's left to say? If you're not sure whether or not you should buy a ticket to see Bobby Womack, one listen to 'A Change Is Gonna Come' should sort out your indecision without further ado.
Of course, some people adopt the view that performers lose their edge with age, and that is the case for some, but Womack ain't one of those. Last year, upon the release of The Bravest Man in the Universe, his first album of new material since 1994, the Guardian reviewed him as "at the apex of his game".
Unbelievably, this visit will be Womack's debut headline tour of Australia, and to mark it, he'll be doing his thing thoroughly, with a 13-piece band. Last week he told Beat that the timing is perfect. "I'm coming to see everybody down there at just the right time," he said. "I was green before, but I'm well-seasoned now."
