I love it, as I do all her music. Will buy just about anything about/from New Orleans after Katrina, however, I have everything that Irma ever recorded, even the vinyls.
True Americana. Anything by her has to be appreciated for the gem it is. Blues as it should be interpreted. It is Irma Thomas, after all. She is fabulous.
Great band, wonderfully natural production.A keeper. Irma Thomas is undeniably one of the best blues singers of all time.For those of us with a special place in our heart for her amazing singing since "It's Raining" and "I wish someone would care", here she is back, as strong as ever.This album is delightful and the first song alone "In the middle of it all" is worth the price of the CD.
I love the choice of songs and the quality of the recording is excellent. I have listened to After the Rain for hours and hours, and never tire of it. Never has her voice had greater depth or range.
Guaranteed. I own over 2500 CDs and had double that in vinyl a few years ago. Rest assured, this CD will find its' way into your heart and your ears as a top favorite in your music collection. I wasn't familiar with this artist in any way shape or form a month ago (4-07). My only puzzlement is why I wasn't familiar with her before now, I arrogantly thought I knew who was who in mainstream music, obviously I have a whole lot left to learn (I love that because I will never hear enough music like this) Buy it, buy it, buy it. I was absolutely entranced in every way. I heard "In the Middle of it All" by her on a Blues streaming channel on my computer one afternoon. I immediately ordered the CD on Amazon and consider it one of the finest CDs I own by a female singer bar none.
