... because sometimes all you can say is ... 'girl' ...
Thanks for sharing the news. She put out some great stuff in her day.
Absolutely. Worth a re-listen on this, Ann's birthday weekend.Quote:

I only know "I Can't Stand The Rain" and "I'm Gonna Tear Down Your Playhouse", what others would you recommend to get me started...? :)
Tom, I have 5 of Ann's HI Records albums on CD:
1) Part-Time Love [[1971)
2) Straight From The Heart [[1972)
3) I Can't Stand The Rain [[1974)
4) Tellin' It [[1975)
5) If This Is Heaven [[1977)
Since you're somewhat underwhelmed by her album tracks, it's hard to know what to recommend unless I know which of her albums you have. Let me know, and then we can take it from there.
If I may join it, I found her best two albums to be "The Handwriting is on the Wall" and "Tellin' It." Each have several standout cuts.
Of course you may! And I shall play those two this evening.Quote:

If you play them in this order, it will provide you with a perfectly-paced sample of what's available in Ann's catalog. [[You're right, sometimes the pacing of her album tracks could be a bit repetitious and underwhelming. Gotta skip around and keep it fresh!)
Tom, did you like any of the Ann Peebles' tracks that I suggested?Quote:

Gary, I listened to those tracks you suggested, and liked them all! I don't know why I didn't think too much of them when I first checked them out. Sometimes I feel that way about an artist, only to revisit later on and really enjoy their tracks. :)
I'm glad you liked them, Tom! Sometimes it just depends upon your mood at the time. There are nights when nothing sounds good to me -- not even songs that I know I love. That's when I just hang it up and wait until another night... a better mood.Quote:
