This magnificent album, destined to be an all-time essential in any library of classic soul, is a bittersweet triumph. On one hand, it marks the 70th birthday year of Solomon Burke, who ranks with the very greatest R&B immortals; on the other, it's the final full album produced by another soul legend, producer Willie Mitchell, the Memphis architect of the Hi Records sound and the man behind everlasting hits by Al Green, Ann Peebles, and so many others. Mitchell passed away on January 5, 2010. 'Nothing's Impossible' delivers a dozen tracks of timeless soul magic in the purest Memphis style with the deepest Southern roots. Yet there’s not the slightest whiff of nostalgia about the project. Burke's voice is full-strength, and Mitchell's arrangements flourish in the Hi-style: tight, right horns; rock solid kick drums and mellow bass; country guitar fills, and the sweetest string arrangements to enhance the romance and the heartbreak of these amazing songs.
