Album Notes & Community Reviews
Produced by Willie Mitchell at the famed Royal Studios, 'The Handwriting Is on the Wall' is a stellar showcase of Memphis soul. Ann Peebles' raw, incredibly emotive vocal phrasing perfectly complements the tight, rhythmically sophisticated backing of the Hi Rhythm Section. It remains a critically acclaimed, if commercially underappreciated, entry in classic Southern soul.
