Allmusic[3]

Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "Ruth Brown at her stinging, assertive, bawdy best, doing the sizzling, innuendo-laden R&B that helped make Atlantic the nation's prime independent during the early days of rock & roll".[3]

Personnel
gollark: Like "colourless green ideas sleep furiously" and such.
gollark: It's just that stuff like "thought isnt action. so things that started as thought are just concepts in action, the action is still the same action as all other actions, push and pull." and "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" don't seem like... semantically meaningful sentences. I mean, they're... valid sentences, but don't look like they're actually conveying any true useful information.
gollark: Sure?
gollark: No, I roughly understand that you can have fixed or time-varying-based-on-a-sine-wave-or-something voltage.
gollark: Sure.
