Hold On To Me (album)
''Hold On to Me'' is the fifth studio album by Australian rock band The Black Sorrows. It's the group's first album to feature the vocals of Vika and Linda Bull. Reception Rudyard Kennedy from AllMusic gave the album a positive review saying; " oeCamilleri and company may borrow many of the same ingredients that James Morrison uses to make his music -- blues, soul, and R&B, as well as flashes of gospel, country, folk, and even Brill building pop -- but the trick is in mixing those well-worn ingredients together and coming up with something new. That's where Black Sorrows show that they're fit to be mentioned in the same breath with artists like Van Morrison and the Rolling Stones. Every song on ''Hold On to Me'' sounds like it could be a classic (and classy) radio staple, without sounding like a copy of anything else. Not only is ''Hold On to Mes literate songwriting (by Camilleri and lyricist Nick Smith) superb, but the playing is also uniformly excellent (and, at times, posi ...
