A masterpiece that blends southern blues with the sophistication of soul.
Released on Malaco Records, this album follows the success of their previous album, "Down Home," and deepens their "down home" sound, fusing blues and soul.
The gospel-infused vocals resonate passionately, while songwriting by George Jackson and others adds a touch of soul sophistication. The raw rhythm of Southern blues lives on in the urban arrangements incorporating strings and horns. Highly regarded as a representative work of the 1980s blues revival, this album was a hit on the R&B album charts. Hill's mature vocals resonate with the tension of her backing band, creating a highly polished album.
