This is in many ways the quintessential Aretha album- great self-penned originals, contemporary songs some blues and R & B standards, the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and Duane Allman playing some fine leads.  While there's only one major hit here ('Don't Play That Song') the album stands up as one of Aretha's finest moments.  Original packaging save for the hue of the cover with new liner notes by Richie Unterberger.
