Excellent Contemporary Memphis Soul from Robin McKelle and her superb band the Flytones. The amazingly punchy ‘About to be your baby’ could have been recorded by Al Green or Ann Peebles and produced by Willie Mitchell in the early 70’s. The cover of ‘Don’t Let me Misunderstood’ and ‘Good Time’ are more uptempo. ‘Control Yourself’ , ‘Heart of Memphis’, ‘It’s Over this Time’ and ‘ Easier than that’are classic Southern soul ballads and ‘Like a River’ is a strong mid tempo with its powerhouse horn riffs. Robin’s vulnerable voice has shades of Candi Staton and is superb throughout this extremely strong album which is packed with real songs and old school musical values.
