Millie Jackson - Feelin Bitchy '1977 [1990]

Tracks list

Soul fans who dont have a taste for off-color humor have often argued that
Millie Jackson should stay away from the racy stuff. They insist that a
soulstress as talented as Jackson doesnt need to be raunchy, claiming that her
sexually explicit diatribes are an unnecessary distraction. But heres the thing:
those diatribes are genuinely funny at times, shes downright hilarious. Jackson
would still be a great singer even without the R-rated and X-rated monologues,
but those monologues are a nice bonus. Not without its share of raunchy humor,
this 1977 LP is unlikely to get Dr. Lauras stamp of approval any time soon. But
those who dont mind off-color humor will find Feelin Bitchy to be a first-rate
soul album. Jackson provides some hilarious diatribes on You Created a Monster
and the bluesy All the Way Lover (which lambastes women who prefer soap operas
over their husbands), and she fares equally well on less explicit material like
Hots Angel in Your Arms and Merle Haggards If Youre Not Back in Love by Monday
(which was a number two country hit for Haggard and a number five R&B hit for
Jackson). While Hots original version of Angel in Your Arms was slick R&B/pop
and crossed over to adult contemporary audiences, Jacksons gritty remake is
hardcore soul. From the explicit to the not so explicit, Feelin Bitchy is among
Jacksons finest albums.
