Description

A lean, tough set that was not only a triumph for Peebles, but illustrated how the Hi label had surpassed its crosstown Stax rival for quality Memphis soul in the early 70s. Richie Unterberger

If Al Green is heads on the Hi Records coin, Ann Peebles is tails. The signature female artist on the legendary Memphis soul and R&B label, Ann Peebles rocked the pre-disco 1970s with songs of love, lost love and love straight up taken.

Released in 1972 and preceding Peebles uber classic I Cant Stand The Rain by just two years, Straight From The Heart proved the young soonto- be American R&B icon didnt need worldwide fame and record sales for a license to be fierce and provocative (see I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebodys Home Tonight, for example).

Written by Ann Peebles and husband Don Bryant, Straight From The Heart includes the classic R&B hits Slipped, Tripped And Fell In Love, I Feel Like Breaking Up Somebodys Home and Somebodys On Your Case.

Out of print for years, with original editions fetching or more from collectors.
