Description
Uncensored is an album by the American gospel singer Pop Winans & The Winanaires (various family members of David “Pop” Winans such as his sons The Winans as well as grandsons Winans Phase 2), independently released on Against The Flow in 1999, distributed in the US by Diamante Music Group. The album was produced by Cedric and Victor Caldwell for Caldwell Plus Productions with Jerome Williams co-producing.
We’ve heard from the mother of gospel’s first family and now it’s time to have a listen to Pop Winans, the daddy of them all! Again produced by Cedric and) Victor Caldwell, Pop strips it down and using The Winans and Winans Phase 2 as a backing vocal group, this has an old fashioned gospel quartet vibe about it, Less obvious traditional material has been chosen and it’s Pop’s personality that really makes this! The album includes a few interludes where Pop lets off on a number of topics which just adds to the fun. Musically, a lot of this is a simple formula – find a groove and let loose vocally, playing off the tight backing vocal arrangements from his sons and grandsons. This is old-time but it’s sharpened up by some contemporary production values. Standouts include the old chestnuts «This Train» and «Pass Me Not» as well as a new BeBe Winans song «Right Here Waiting» with a smoking sultry bass line, some wailing sax and a testifyin’ Pop Winans. Just great! [Mike Rimmer, Cross Rhythms, June 2000]
