This was the second Sam & Dave album to enjoy significant crossover appeal. The
1967 record included such hits as Said I Wasnt Gonna Tell Nobody, Soothe Me, and
When Something Is Wrong with My Baby. Isaac Hayes and David Porter were now
rolling as songwriters, and even though the record didnt attain big pop numbers,
the singles clicked with both soul and pop audiences. More importantly, Sam &
Daves teamwork and vocal interaction were establishing them as major stars. 

There is never a lack of energy on a quality Sam & Dave album, and Double
Dynamite is certainly no exception. And while Double Dynamite may not have all
the most recognizable Sam & Dave chart-busters in its tracklist, it never lets
up on the soul power that Sam & Dave practically define as a duo. 

Double Dynamite (which was also the nickname for the duo of Sam & Dave) is an
album that uses gripping performances in the opening few songs almost as a way
to build up the listeners emotional threshold for the huge ballad When Something
is Wrong with My Baby. The song was a huge hit for the group at the time, and
its easy to see why. Sam & Dave sound so willing to drain everything the have
into the song that you cant help but fall in with them. No song on Double
Dynamite is given a lesser treatment, from the sincerity of Im Your Puppet to
the hard bop of Soothe Me. 

Sam & Dave just could go wrong during their Stax days with the Issac Hayes and
David Porter songwriting team. The more Sam & Dave from this era that you can
add to your collection, the better. (Ron Wynn)
