Description:
Twenty-three sides representing the cream of Irma Thomas's brilliant Minit/Liberty years (1961-1966), when her reputation as "The Soul Queen of New Orleans" was built. Virtually all her best-known tunes are here -- "Wish Someone Would Care," "Ruler of My Heart," "It's Raining," and "Time Is on My Side" (covered note-for-note by The Stones). Beautiful singing from one of the first ladies of soul music. Essential. ~ Christine Ohlman, All Music Guide

"It's Raining" is one of my favorite melodies. It jumped out at me on Lou Ann Barton's breakout album Old Enough. Irma's version milks the loneliness of a girl missing her guy, "It's raining so hard, it brings back memories, of when you were here with me." Thomas' take on Jackie DeShannon's "Break-a-way" bounces out of the speakers with force on that bubbly chorus. The track zoomed to #2 in my personal top ten several years ago when it first came to my attention onBreak-A-Way: The Songs Of Jackie Deshannon 1961-1967. Irma's voice amazes with its range and intensity such as on the pop nugget "Some Things You Never Get Used To." "Ruler Of My Heart" is such a stunning melody that Irma nails, "When you're gone, the going gets rough; Come back, come back, I've had enough." Irma's self-penned "Wish Someone Would Care" is an emotional storm that Thomas nails. "Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)" stuns with a slow methodical beat and the staccato background vocals on "anyone." Great stuff! "Two Winters Long" with its pop-rock-tango beat charms me, "Blew away the memories of you. Since you left, I got me somebody else." "Time Is On My Side" takes us into the gold standard of powerful R&B from the exquisite musical voice of Irma Thomas. Enjoy!

Irma does Time is on my Side better than the Stones. Enjoyed this CD the more I listened to it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Irma ......simply the best.
I am from New Orleans, so Irma is like a household name to us. I sang along to her music as a teenager, have heard her perform, and even seen her in the grocery store. She's one of our local treasures, and a wonderful lady.If you never heard her sing, you are in for a treat. This cd is not the best quality, but is a good example of her early years in the business. She's in her 60's now, and still going strong. She's always been a favorite of mine. Buy this, and treat yourelf to a dose of "The Soul Queen of New Orleans"
5.0 out of 5 stars Miss Irma, aka Miss AWESOME
Irma Thomas has the rich deep tones in her voice that make you FEEL every emotion she is singing about. Irma was very popular in Louisiana when I was growing up. This CD brought back many cherished memories. She is a classic, judge for yourself...give this CD a listen. If Miss Irma had the backing,and the exposure ; she would have been a world re-known artist Still, you be the judge, give Irma's soul a chance to connect with your soul; you won't be sorry.

Time is no longer on our side, Irma's and mine, but I grew up waving white hankies in attendance at Irma Thomas's performances. She has been a consummate professional for decades. She is still a "ruler of my heart". I am obviously not a disinterested listener, since this album stirs up so many tender memories for me, but it seems well done, given the conditions under which these renditions were recorded, under the technology in use at the time.
3.0 out of 5 stars OK
MOST OF THE SONGS ARE OLD QUALITY SOUND. ALMOST SCRATCHY. NICE SELECTION OF SONGS
