Check Me Out If You Don’t Know Me By Now

This ten-track set from ‘The Female Preacher’ Lyn Collins is a James Brown production and he provides backing vocals on a few tracks, but despite the size of Brown’s personality, nothing can dwarf Collins’ voice here. From the epic orchestrated soul of “To Each His Own”, the stripped back, brooding “Put It On The Line” or her solid take on Jean Knight’s “Mr Big Stuff”, Collins dominates, one of soul music’s most powerful, raw and emotive voices, a voice that’s a force of nature. Also includes some classic JBs funk in the shape of the killer ‘Rock Me Again’.
