U.S issue of this timeless Soul album recorded for Kudu and an album that takes her soulful style of earlier years and places it around some 70's style funk arrangements. Ex-James Brown hornman Pee Wee Ellis arranged the album, and gave Esther a dose of funk that really helped her groove getting out of the sad bag of her Atlantic recordings, and sounding hipper than anyone would have expected. The record features the slow funk groover "Black Eyed Blues" and other tracks include "I've Only Known A Stranger", "You Could Have Had Me, Baby", and "Too Many Roads".
Please note: This album has a cut corner.
