5.0 out of 5 stars Best Millie Jackson Album, November 6, 2002

By 

Joseph Murphy (Chicago Illinios) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Feelin' Bitchy (Audio CD)

I like this album because it's funny. I've always liked Millie Jackson period. To be honest, I think Millie Jackson is better than Diana Ross, Barabra Striestand or any other female singer you can think of.

I first bought this record in 1978 at the record shop. It had a lady dressed in make up licking her lips. I was used to seeing exotic women on album covers back in the late 70s, early 80s, and I thought it was just another music band album but I began to look at the album cover and fell in love with it. I was like "who is this lovely lady". When I saw her name "Millie Jackson" written in lipstick, I said to myself "I'ma get this album"

Every song on here is great. It's funny. It begans with "All the way lover", a song Millie sings about some lazy women who prefer soap operas over their men. Millie sings for like 6 or 7 minutes then she started talking about those women.

It ends with "Feeling like a Woman", a song about a man making her feel like she's loved, cared about, and this song is kinda like a slower version of Aretha Franklin's "You make me feel"

Millie, if you're reading this, I just want to say that I love your work and thank you for laying it down, and giving us the satisfaction us men would like to see and here.

All the female singers, yall cool. but chall cant touch Millie!!! (laughs)

I remember back in 1977 when this album was released and it quickly garnered cult status among African-Americans; it seems as though there was not a person I knew who did not have this album in their collection. Millie Jackson is one of the true "Old School" performers who relies on talent to get the story across -- even if she does pepper it up with four-letter words that would make a sailor blush!

That's what's so refreshing about Millie Jackson, her no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners attitude let's you know exactly where things stand. Sure, anyone can cuss, but Millie can sing as well, as evidenced by my all-time favorite cut by her, "If You're Not Back In Love By Monday" which shows Millie at her tough-vulnerable best. One of her best tough-talking songs is "All The Way Lover" where Millie disses trifling women in general, admonishing them to take care of business at home with their men before someone else takes care of it for them.

The Queen of Sass and Soul is also at her most tender on "Feelin' Like A Woman", letting the man in her life know just how wonderful and special he makes her feel. There's a steely edge to her voice on "The Angel In Your Arms", letting her lover know that she knows that he's been tippin' out and to not be surprised when (not if) she does too; a classic sauce-for-the-goose/gander situation song gets a sparkling polish by Millie. In this day and age of Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown, perhaps those two young ladies need to take a page from Ms. Jackson's opus and learn what it means to be blunt and still be a lady in the process. All in all, a great album to have in any collection!
