They Say...
These fourteen slices of Southern soul from Stax feature some of the legendary label's many female vocalists, with Linda Lyndell's poppin' "What a Man" (later redone into a mega hit by Salt N' Pepa) as the most interesting cut. Memphis Queen Carla Thomas is ultra soulful on "Guide Me Well," which begins with a spoken narrative; and Mavis Staples emotes as only she can on the classic "Since I Fell for You." With three cuts, Jean Knight is the most represented artist; her million-selling "Mr. Big Stuff" heads a trio of tunes that includes "You Think You're Hot Stuff" (alias "Mr. Big Stuff 2"). A creative horn arrangement colors Mabel John's "Running Out" and Inez Foxx's no-nonsense delivery of "The Time" -- the old Baby Washington hit strikes as deep as the original. If you like Southern soul, you'll enjoy this set; if you're just a casual Southern fan, go for a compilation with more hits.
