5.0 out of 5 stars Kicks In The Door, March 12, 2004

This album is incredible. Without a doubt, Mrs. Davis was twenty years ahead of her time. Sure, she married Miles and slept w/Jimi but she wrote and sang too. Her attitude makes feminism hide under the bed. The players are fantastic and the music takes no prisoners. Not for the meek. Oh, and yes, that's Journey's Neil Schon on guitar...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent raunchy funk from Betty!!, March 20, 2001

Betty's first album. She wrote most of the songs on this album in London in 1971. She went there to work as a fashion model shortly after the death of Jimi Hendrix and lived there for about 6 months. The track 'Steppin' In Her I Miller Shoes' is a rememberance for Devon Wilson, Jimi's old lady. Gregg Errico on drums and Larry Graham on bass, other musicians include Hershall Kennedy (Little Sister, GCS), Merl Saunders, Doug Rauch and the TowerOfPower horn section. There was a story of Betty's first concert in the Washington DC area in 1973,that nearly ended up in a riot. Another story was that the Commodores recorded some of this material (Walkin Up The Road) as a demo which got them their Motown deal. I hope Betty is ready soon and brings us some new Funk!

3.0 out of 5 stars at times amazing and at times lacking, May 29, 2007

This review is from: Betty Davis (Audio CD)

taken as vintage groove/funk type music, a few of the cuts on this are A+, early 70's state of the art, cream of the crop. Larry Graham grooves the pee pee out of Anti Love Song and brings the funk to Your Man, My Man... a couple more tracks are uniquely groovy, but then around half the material is sorta forgetable... not that it lacks attitude, Betty Davis wasn't short on attitude anywhere.. and the players sound fine on all the cuts, but the songs themselves aren't all that great... some of the grooves are superlative, extra special, inspired, and some are just kinda cool. if you are a bassist, or a Larry Graham fanatic, Anti Love Song and Your Man, My Man are worth whatever you have to pay for the disc.
