Staton, Candi: I'm Just A Prisoner (Vinyl LP)

I’m Just A Prisoner was released in 1970 and remains a definitive slice of Southern soul. Recorded at Rick Hall’s legendary Fame studio in Muscle Shoals, I’m Just A Prisoner pulled together five tracks – ‘I’d Rather Be An Old Man’s Sweetheart (Than A Young Man’s Fool)’, ‘I’m Just A Prisoner (Of Your Good Lovin’)’, ‘Evidence’, ‘You Don’t Love Me No More’ and ‘Sweet Feeling’ - that had appeared as A and B-sides on early singles issued in 1969 and 1970.

These were augmented by another five tracks recorded specifically for the album; ‘Someone You Use’, ‘Get It When I Want It’, ‘Do Your Duty’, ‘That’s How Strong My Love Is’ and ‘Another Man’s Woman, Another Woman’s Man’. Like Southern fried chicken, this music is essential food for your ears.
