Hit: 5 Stars
This is the recording I've been waiting for from Shemekia. Her previous two records were good, but the production was not up to snuff and the material was simplistic and deliberate. Here Steve Cropper gives her the background she needs, with a classic Stax sound and a lot of energy behind her. Her voice is so enormous that it takes a strong band and a sure hand behind the glass to properly support it, and Cropper provides it in spades. It's really refreshing to hear a band this good playing like they mean it--tight as a drum, and apparently having a blast playing together. The songs here are better than the last couple of records, too, but still not of the same caliber as her singing or the band's playing. It's my only regret with this CD. The style is just right, but the lyrics are superficial and a little too cute. Like most country music these days, they seem to be built around a clever turn of phrase in the chorus, but the cleverness is disposable and by the third chorus it's already stale (the only person who seems to be able to pull off this kind of thing properly is Delbert McClinton--the more you listen to his lyrics, the more true they seem). If she had the kind of songs that Bonnie Raitt has been choosing lately (check out her version of Randall Bramblett's "God was in the Water" if you want to hear real mastery of the lyric art, or better yet, listen to Randall's own recording, which has lots of other great stuff), this would be one for the ages. But even as it is, this is a record that I can recommend without reservation. Buy it without a second thought.
