Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Dearly remembered.......2004-09-23

I bought this LP in 1973 in a record shop in Roxbury, Boston, and was I glad I did, even though one of the tracks, "In the Meantime" is one of the saddest ballads ever waxed. As others on this page have noted, Betty is an original, way ahead of her time, and to me is as interesting a composer as Abbey Lincoln. That says a lot. The reissue may seem a bit expensive but in this case you more than get what you pays for.

5 out of 5 stars Kicks In The Door.......2004-03-13

This album is incredible. Without a doubt, Mrs. Davis was twenty years ahead of her time. Sure, she married Miles and slept w/Jimi but she wrote and sang too. Her attitude makes feminism hide under the bed. The players are fantastic and the music takes no prisoners. Not for the meek. Oh, and yes, that's Journey's Neil Schon on guitar...

5 out of 5 stars introducing BETTY DAVIS.......2001-12-29

Betty's premiere effort is a mixture of instrumental funk and vocal rawness set to lyrics which were way ahead of their times.
This album was released in summer of 1973 and most of the guest musicians had yet to come into their own spotlight such as the
POINTER SISTERS,SYLVESTER and the members of GRAHAM CENTRAL STATION! Betty sings about I.V. Heroin Overdose in STEPPIN HIGH IN HER I.MILLER SHOES, a 3-way relationship in which she is the other woman who don't give a damn about sharing him as she tells the main lady that he's YOUR MAN,MY MAN or as she tells an ex-lover why she had to let him go in ANTI LOVE SONG or the albums only radio played effort and the one for which the album (and Betty) are most remembered IF I'M IN LUCK I MIGHT GET PICKED UP
which needs no introduction as the title pretty much explains the songs meaning. An album which was a first of it's kind as far as musical style,vocals and lyrics for the time. She reminded me of a black Janis Joplin (with a much funkier sound.)

1 out of 5 stars A big disappointment.......2001-06-10

Five stars for Graham, Errico, and TOP. Zero stars for the rest. Just because you hung with Miles for awhile does not mean that you are automaticically a genius musician. Besides, the album is very short and way overpriced. A definite Do Not Buy.
