a woman's viewpoint - essential 1970s recordings

For the first time in one compilation, Kent is proud to present the cream of the "Soul Queen Of New Orleans" 1970s recordings. With songs and productions by such major names as Jerry Williams Jr pka Swamp Dogg, Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham and Monk Higgins and Dee Ervin, the soul connoisseur will need no persuasion whatsoever to purchase. Includes the whole of Irma's Swamp Dogg-penned and produced 1973 Fungus album "In Between Tears", plus selected recordings from her tenures with Canyon, RCS and Scepter/Wand (including one previously unissued track from the latter label). Recorded in Macon, Muscle Shoals and Baton Rouge and guaranteed to appeal to any admirer of 70s southern soul - particularly the thousands who have already purchased Kent's strong-selling Doris Duke CD (also primarily written and produced by Swamp Dogg). Kent's previous Irma Thomas CD "Time Is On My Side" (CDKEND 010) has been one of the biggest sellers in the label's history. As with that one, Irma still performs many of the songs featured on "A Woman's Viewpoint" in her stage act and thus it's likely that more sales will be generated as a result of this.
