Album Review

Only six songs, but six from Linda Jones are like ten from someone else. It was recorded during one of Linda's performances in Ohio in the early '70s. It's obviously a bootleg taping made by a concert patron, which Sequel thankfully remastered and released. Jones died a few years later, and this is her only live recording known to exist. Her interpretations of two Falcon tunes and Jerry Butler's "For Your Precious Love" makes this a must-buy, not to mention the dramatic "That's When I'll Stop Loving You," where Linda recites a laundry list of events that would have to occur before she left her man; but then, everything Linda sings becomes a drama. Linda had a unique way of phrasing that distanced her from the also-rans. She was truly amazing and left us much too quick.
