Release.Info :
Irma ThomasÆs voice carries the conviction, the tone, of experience. ôIf you
want love, you got to bring it with you,ö she sings, her thickly forceful voice
dominating the fast horns, bluesy guitar, and drumming in the funky ôGot to
Bring It with You,ö a song written by Rick Giles, Chuck Jones, and Kim Wilson.
It is an old-fashion, warmly social soundùshe is not being difficult, she is
just telling the truth. And, she makes her own promise of love in the poignant
Joe Brucato ballad ôLet It Be Me,ö which she embellishes with exultant pleas.
Charmingly humble is Irma ThomasÆs interpretation of Dan Penn and Spooner
OldhamÆs ôIÆm Your Puppet,ö but with Tom JansÆ song ôLoving Armsö Thomas moves
into deeper territoryùit is a song of reflection and regret for oneÆs
isolation: ôIÆve been too long in the wind, too long in the rainö and, as if in
a trance, she sings, ôI can almost feel you.ö Declaiming against a big, slow
beat a message of determination and struggle, Thomas sings Doc Pomus and Mac
RebennackÆs ôThere Must Be a Better World Somewhere,ö giving a soulful
performance that touches: what do you do when you lose your sense of
directionùyour guides, your purpose, and belief, but acknowledge that you are
lost? In ôThe New Rules,ö written by Paul Kelly, are a womanÆs declaration of
what she expects of a manÆs investment in love, but the music is a little
chintzy (I imagine it sung in nightclubs with people talking and drinking
rather than on a concert stage before a rapt audience).
Circumstances can call forth a deeper response from a person, from an artist.
Irma Thomas takes the traditional song ôAnother Man Done Goneö and adapts it to
life in hurricane country, giving it a rustling beat, and with new words
turning it into a news report and a lament. With a nice piano introduction and
foundation by David Torkanowsky, the refined Burt Bacharach-Steve Krikorian
ballad ôWhat Can I Doö is a pretty love song; and the emotion in the song, a
beseeching quest for love, is given a rare clarity in the lyrics but the
interpretation still seems rather colorless (it may be that sometimes, though
not always, it helps if a singer raises her voice). Playfully sentimental, also
slyly accusatory, is ôI Count the Tears,ö written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman,
a version which has a mostly male chorus that recalls doo-wop. Allen
ToussaintÆs ôOld Recordsö is a song of appreciation and also mature resignation
and it is given a light, jaunty rhythm. (On ôOld Recordsö Renard PochΘ is on
guitar and Herman Ernest III is on drums.) The Bessie Smith flood song ôBack
Water Bluesö is delivered plainly, with effective instrumentation, and has
dignity, and a stark reality; and features Allen Toussaint on piano, Doyle
Bramhall II on guitar, Paul Bryan on bass, and Jay Bellerose on drums.
Irma Thomas creates a warm, womanly perspective and tone, a melancholy
reflection, for Arthur AlexanderÆs ôIn the Middle of It All,ö and supported by
good music, she achieves an elemental perfection. (On that song, Dirk Powell
plays electric guitar, Sonny Landreth slide guitar, James Singleton acoustic
bass, Stanton Moore drums, and David Torkanowsky electric piano. The smaller
bands seem to yield something special.) ôYou brought out the best in me, made
me leave the rest of me behind,ö Irma Thomas sings in the exuberant Allen
Toussaint rhythm-and-blues ôSweet Touch of Love.ö A bluesy tension is sustained
in the tough goodbye song ôYour Ship Has Sailed,ö which Thomas herself wrote
with Warner Williams. With a rolling, rumbling piano, there is a call to join
the congregation in the John FogertyÆs spiritual ôRiver is Waiting.ö
