A record equally full of joy and melancholy, this is peak-Aretha in the middle of her late sixties purple patch. The album delivers a mix of gospel-flavoured R’n’B rockers and sweet soul peans to love, with Aretha swooping between effortlessly testifying and more introspective, sensitive vocal performances. Heavyweight session musicians, great choice of material and that unmistakable voice — solid gold soul.
