JohnBOct 14, 2004Just saw Candi live in London 2004...the voice is every bit as good as on this great album. Don't miss her if you get the chance-there is still time to crown the true queen of soul!

MarkyMarkMay 2, 2004An excellent soul album - oldschool. If you like Aretha, Otis or Marvin then you should try this out. Great voice and a nice collection of songs. Highly recommended

TommoKMar 5, 2004Oh my gosh this is fantastic. Tragedy that this songs may have almost slipped into oblivion. This epitimises the funky, grutty sound of Southern soul.

TheoLFeb 26, 2004Probably the best soul cd in years! Two weeks ago I bought the much acclaimed new cd of Joss Stone, but now I've bought Candi Staton, Stone's cd lies in the dustbin. Candi Staton is the real thing!

MojoThere's much to digest here but absolutely no filler--each song is a priceless gem. [Jan 2004, p.110]
-
Even the least-crucial songs feature a tough backing band and a powerful, raspy performance from Candi.

Q MagazineThat they've been forgotten for 30 years seems almost a crime, because they've got just about everything real soul music needs. [Feb 2004, p.118]
