Edwin Starr - Twenty Five Miles

Review by Claire Arnaud-Aubour

Twenty Five Miles is a classic album by the late soul singer Edwin Starr. Released in 1969, it is widely regarded as one of Starr's best works and a definitive example of the Motown sound. The album features some of Starr's most iconic tracks, including the title track "Twenty Five Miles," "My Weakness Is You," and "Stop Her on Sight (S.O.S.)."

The album showcases Starr's powerful and soulful vocals, backed by Motown's signature horn sections and funky rhythms. The lyrics are often politically charged, addressing issues of race and social justice, as well as more personal themes of love and heartbreak.

One standout track on the album is "War," a protest song that became a massive hit and an anthem for the anti-Vietnam War movement. The song's message is as relevant today as it was in 1969, and its catchy chorus and driving beat make it an enduring classic.
