One of the few rare albums on the Maple label – a 70s imprint that's
known for some incredible funk and soul! Despite the title, the set's a
record that sounds a lot more down-home than uptown – thanks to
hard-wailing vocals from Gloria Barnes herself, and a nicely rough-edged
quality to the instrumentation overall – supposedly handled by Lee
Moses and The Ohio Players – the latter of whom wrote a few of the songs
too! The album's one of the few on Maple – and in a way, it's almost a
female soul counterpart to the Lee Moses record on the same label –
done in a similar mix of rootsy modes and east coast indie soul –
occasionally sweet at points, but mostly deep soul overall. Titles
include "Gotta Get Away", "I Found Myself", "Old Before My Time", "I'll
Go All The Way", "She Wants A Stand In", and "You Don't Mean It".
