The late Ollie Nightingale's recordings always capture one's attention, even when the material is mundane. Ollie Style contains some prime cuts, including bawdy blues tales like the eight-minute-plus &I'm Gonna Turn This Bed Over& and midtempo Southern soul beauties like &I'll Work for You,& on which Nightingale sings &I'll work for you like a Georgia mule& to a lilting beat, accompanied by E. Nelson and Bertram Brown on background vocals. He gets things moving on &Booty Scoot,& which appeared on a previous album but gets recycled and remixed for maximum effect here. Ollie Style is not without its humdrum moments -- the pop/country ballads &That's What You Are to Me& and &I'm Going to See You Again Tonight& display Nightingale's range but detract from his strengths, making him sound too smooth and pretty. The swaggering &I'm Good at What I Do,& however, is right up his alley. Overall, a good effort, and a fine introduction to Nightingale's work.
