I’m Just a Prisoner

Released

Before ‘Young Hearts Run Free’ and ‘You’ve Got The Love,’ Alabama singer Candi Staton recorded three fine Southern soul albums for the FAME label, with the first, ‘I’m Just A Prisoner,’ dropping in 1970. Featuring some seriously gritty, homey funk with plenty of blues influence along with a clutch of smouldering torch songs, the quality is consistent throughout as are Staton’s fervent vocals.
