 A funked-up collection October 12, 2008
Robert S. Estes (Santa Rosa, Ca)
The good news here is that there are aisles of Isley Bros. hits in a row.
The bad news is that someone toppled over the banquet table and made a mish-mash of the platters.
There is no time-line, no historical appreciation of the Bros. from the punch of 1962's "Twist and Shout" to the whisper of 1997's "Between the Sheets". The evolution from basic 50's RnB "Shout" (missing here!) to 60's soul "This Old Heart of Mine" to 70's "Who's That Lady" with a Jimi Hendrix guitar line, to '80's "Caravan of Love" the Isley's were hitmakers and poptakers, and few bands have lasted 5 decades of hits.
This Two CD so-called "Essential" is exasperating. It has fine stereo of older hits like "It's Your Thing" (a nice wink at Sly Stone) and plenty of '70's hits (their most proficient peroid) and bunches of the latter day Smooth Jazz emphasis on Ron Isley's crooning.
Until a box set detailing each era, these CDs are a good primer.
 I wish there were more compilations like this August 19, 2008
Robert T. Fortune
There are a number of Isley Brothers complilations out there, but this is the most comprehensive one I have found so far. One glaring ommission - "Hello It's Me" - but this is otherwise a great colelcton of Isley Brothers tunes.
The songs are just what I used to hear on the radio, and still do from time to time. Of the songs that are on this CD, there is little not to like. A lot of vintage songs on this compilation. It covers the group's early days and goes through their latter hits, as a compilation (in my opinion) should.

I really enjoy old school. Some of the songs I never they sung and was pleased.

Classic Isley's August 12, 2007
mistermaxxx@yahoo.com (usa)
always been a fan of the Isley's and always will be. I love all there eras. from the late 50's , the rock and SOul Fusion of the 60's, the Funk of the 70's, the Smooth out Grooves of the 80's and the Mr.Biggs/Rap inspired 90's through now era. I enjoy there many classicss and the Greatness of Ronald "Mr. Biggs" Isley vocals which are timeless. Ernie on the Guitar is badd as ever. I loved the 3+3 era where you had half Funk and half Smooth cuts. so many songs that moved me back in the day til now. I've always been a huge Isley fan. I enjoy there sound and ability to always adapt to Musical change and yet keep there own signature stamped.
