Jack Mack & The Heart Attack is certainly one of the most genuine soul bands of all times In July 1996 they performed a live concert in front of more than forty thousand people as one of the Olympic Games celebrations in Atlanta Unfortunately the show ended abruptly, because a bomb exploded killing one person and injuring one hundred and eleven people A security guard who was there was wrongly accused to be the bomber In December 2019 Clint Eastwood launched the film Richard Hewell, based on the story of this security guard Two songs coming from Jack Mack & The Heart Attack repertoire were chosen to be part of the film soundtrack, I’ll Take You Dear originally by the Staples Singers and I Walked Alone, a band own composition At the same time of the film release, this album has also been published, including part of that show the band performed in Atlanta The recording is pure dynamite with the most genuine soul music, gathering some own songs together with covers of such legendary soul artists like Al Green, Sly & The Family Stone, James Brown or Bobby Blue Bland and, of course, the two songs included in the film directed by Clint Eastwood and produced by Clint and Leonardo DiCaprio You will find an unforgettable legendary show that should be remembered, not only for the sad circumstances, but also for the determination, strength, musical power and quality all these musicians communicate
