Wilson & Alroy’s Record Reviews
Although the Stax-Volt sound is still unmistakable here, it’s considerably modernized: a heavier guitar sound, more sophisticated orchestration, occasional percussionand most importantly, freer, more Jamerson-like bass playing. But it’s not really an improvementand it doesn’t have the historical import of her Atlantic debut record. […]
