    i hate to say this, but pitchfork's right. the backing music is really lame. aside from the title track, the album lacks the soul of her 70s work.

    if there is a better soul cd this decade than 'his hands' i'll eat hay with a horse. candi's again superb vocal's knock the spots of anybody. to sum things up elton john once did a cover of 'stand by your man' and the reviewer said i quote ' he couldn't hold candi's headphones, end of story.

    Her voice is still like clear honey dripped on freshly baked bread, and almost sounds nourishing.
