180g Vinyl Re-mastered by Ron McMaster at Capitol Studios! Pressed at Pallas in Germany!
This Mother's Daughter remains the most soulful record cut by Nancy Wilson during her Capitol tenure - producer Eugene McDaniels proves an inspired if surprising choice to helm the session, and his subtle but ingenious jazz-funk flourishes are essential to the project's immediacy and appeal. McDaniels couches Wilson in settings as smooth and rich as velvet, crafting a series of mellow, gently propulsive grooves that flirt with contemporary soul but pay heed to the singer's roots in jazz. Wilson responds with a performance that's sophisticated yet saucy, commanding the spotlight with an intensity that's missing from her lesser Capitol efforts.
"Nancy at her finest on vinyl, singing a mix of contemporary soul with strings and horns... For fans of Ms. Wilson who want to hear her in her prime, backed by a potent crew of musicians, with strings, background vocals, and occasional horns to sweeten the mixall in audiophile splendorthen this album fits the bill well." - Jeff Krow, audaud.com, 4 Stars!
