This album was released by the Antone's label in 1989, just after the election in which George Bush made "Read my lips" a catch phrase. Lou Ann Barton explained that she was happy to share the expression with the President because "I thought the American people should have a choice." That's an easy one. The word "sultry" could have been coined for this Lone Star thrush. Backed by a crack crew of Austinites, Barton plunges into a savvy selection of roots and blues classics from the oeuvres of Slim Harpo, Lazy Lester, Irma Thomas, and Wanda Jackson. That's a tough crowd, but Barton keeps company with the best of 'em. --Steven Stolder

Lou Ann Barton, a sultry Texas trouper who's worked with early editions of the Fabulous Thunderbirds and Roomful of Blues, coils her voice through the songs here like a rattlesnake looking for a fight. At other times her drawl smacks of coquettish come-on. There's no faulting her song selection, a gaggle of little-known swamp and city blues. She also knows how to pick her men, notably guitarists Denny Freeman and Jimmie Vaughan. See also Marcia Ball/Lou Ann Barton/Angela Strehli -- © Frank... read more
