As soon as the drum break hits, it would be easy to believe that this record comes from New Orleans, but that's not the case...
Turns out Betty Adams real name is Jewel Meriwether, and she cut two secular records in the early '70's with her brother Roy on piano in Cincinnati, OH (of which this is the first). Not many funky records feature the piano this prominently, and this slamming record drives home the point that I wish there were more!
