A little treat for our friend FOB, don't be too put off by the weird little rap opening, it is over fast and doesn't return. As you can see the album has been released in at least two forms by two different labels; this is the third album of hers that I've discovered multiple versions of, if you are buying one make sure you check the tracks, I've twice now bought something it turned out I already had.
Through the course of this album Marva's guests include James Rivers, Walter 'Wolfman' Washington, Sonny Landreth, Herman Ernest, Davell Crawford, and Lenny McDaniel. Not exactly an insignificant group of sidemen, eh? As usual Marva throws back her head and sings the crap out of this stuff, she didn't know any other way. Best of all this album doesn't repeat any songs from the others.

This one has been in my constant rotation for many a year. For those that don't have it, this one definietly needs to be listened to.
Marva, Marva, Marva, You are gone in my hour of need and all I have left is your voice.
Just finished the whole album and there's some great stuff here - She really hit the spot - Nice soulful and authentic !
Cheers
loved the other Marvas you posted. much looking forward to grabbing an earful of this one. thank'ee KC
Thanks King - - have many Marva recordings in the collection - - tough to pick a favorite - - those who don't know of her voice are in for a treat. Like the way you mention some of the 'side men' helping out on this recording. Knowing your taste in music and also know you know your way around music in New Orleans - did Walter ever play a part in Marva's bands?
