Album Notes & Community Reviews

Shaking off the overly slick production of her late 70s work, the celebrated slide guitarist delivered a revitalized, rocking set backed by the Bump Band. Featuring contributions from Ian McLagan, the record offers a punchy, energetic mix of R&B covers and roots-oriented originals. Despite its strong critical reception and return to form, it unfortunately marked her final release for Warner Bros. before a temporary career lull.
