Brian Auger and Julie Tippetts first rose to fame as Brian Auger And The Trinity in 1968 with their classic cover of Bob Dylan and The Band's This Wheel's On Fire, which reached No. 5 on the UK singles chart. They also collaborated with Donovan on his hit song Season Of The Witch. Julie Tippetts (formerly Driscoll) was also known for her avant-garde jazz work with Keith Tippett, Robert Wyatt and others. Brian Auger continued to explore various styles of jazz, rock, funk and soul with his bands Oblivion Express and The Brian Auger Band.
Encore is a rare and valuable gem for fans of Brian Auger and Julie Tippetts, as well as for lovers of jazz fusion in general. It showcases their musical chemistry, versatility and creativity, as well as their distinctive voices and instrumental skills. The album includes original compositions by both artists, such as Git Up, Rope Ladder To The Moon and Empty Pages, as well as covers of songs by Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Eddie Harris. The album is a testament to the enduring legacy of Brian Auger and Julie Tippetts as pioneers of British jazz-rock.
The album received mixed reviews from critics, who praised Eminem's lyrical skills and delivery, but criticized some of the production choices and the excessive use of humor. Some reviewers also felt that the album lacked the intensity and controversy of Eminem's previous albums. The album has a Metacritic score of 64 out of 100, based on 26 reviews. Pitchfork gave the album a 6.5 out of 10, saying that "Encore is a fourth fascinating record from Eminem, but it's also easily his weakest and, in many ways, tamest album to date." Rolling Stone gave the album four out of five stars, calling it "a phenomenally gifted musician and lyricist doing all the things he does best." The New York Times gave the album a mixed review, stating that "Encore is almost willfully uneven: it includes some of the most exhilarating songs Eminem has ever recorded, alongside some of the most inert."
The album was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling over 700,000 copies in its first week. It also topped the charts in several other countries, including Canada, Australia, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. The album was certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA, and has sold over 11 million copies worldwide. The album spawned four singles: "Just Lose It", "Encore", "Like Toy Soldiers" and "Mockingbird". "Just Lose It" and "Like Toy Soldiers" both reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while "Mockingbird" peaked at number 11. "Encore" was a collaboration with Dr. Dre and 50 Cent, and was released only as a bonus track on a special edition of the album.
