Review by Johnny Black - first appeared in HiFi News
Often described as a folkie, Foster steps out in a more soulful direction on her sixth release. Her voice, with echoes of Aretha and Ella, is ideally suited to this stylistic switch, and her decision to record in Memphis’s legendary Ardent Studios was spot on. Check the gorgeous trumpet solo from Memphis Horns’ mainman Wayne Jackson on the reggae lope I Really Love You, or Jim Dickinson’s plummy keyboard on When It Don’t Come Easy. Foster may never become a megastar, but the cognoscenti will find her hard to resist.
