Average Rating:
 Rating: - Superb soul music from Millie JacksonThe first half of this CD demonstrates what a fine singer Millie Jackson was, soul music seldom matched, with excellent musicians used well. Rating: - Sample a Great R&B VoiceMillie Jackson held high the torch of soul/R&B, when the world was going disco crazy. This collection of single releases is notable for two things. One is that her albums tended to do better than her singles did, which was quite unusual at the time. Even on the R&B chart, her single success was not very distinguished , but that does not mean that the music is bad.

Rating: - Musical and emotional variety means you don't tire of itForgive and forget the sprinkling of conventional unchallenging numbers, notably the cheery, singalong, trite My Man, a Sweet Man (lyrics certainly suggest a grateful girly-in-love who is far from the upfront, sceptical persona Jackson puts across in the other songs). You can overlook a couple of donkeys in a value-for-money 21-track CD that otherwise features bold blues, cynical challenges to the whole concept of 'lurve' and confident instrumentals that match up to Jackson's effortlessly big voice. 21 of the Best ranges from the striking cynical commentary on religious hypocrisy of A Child of God (It's Hard to Believe) to the hurt of the cheated wife in How Do You Feel the Morning After? Then there is pathos in the commentaries ... Read More: |
