Come Together

Ike & Tina Turner

A high-voltage collision of psychedelic rock and raw soul. Tina Turner’s raspy, explosive vocals transform classic covers into sweat-soaked funk anthems.

1996 · Liberty

Come Together is a heavy, humid record that captures the exact moment when the Ike & Tina Turner Revue collided with the volume and distortion of stadium rock. Following their tour with the Rolling Stones, the duo stripped away the polite veneers of early 60s R&B to reveal something far more primal and dangerous. It sounds like a band that has spent years on the road and is finally injecting that sweat-soaked live ferocity into the studio environment. This isn't just soul music; it's a high-voltage surge where every instrument is pushed to the red line.

Moments Worth Listening For

the transition in Come Together where the slinky bassline gives way to Tina's explosive, throat-shredding scream

the way the Ikettes' call-and-response vocals on Honky Tonk Women create a wall of sound that rivals the original's swagger

Ike's aggressive, biting guitar solo on I Want to Take You Higher that pushes the track into psychedelic territory
