Millie Jackson
Feelin’ Bitchy
Southbound / Ace SEW 172 – import re-issue from the UK
In the spring of 1977, Millie Jackson was down in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, laying down tracks for what became Feelin Bitchy with co-producer Brad Shapiro. Released in August 1977, the album reached #4 and #34 in Americas Billboards R&B and Hot 100, going gold with over 500,000 copies sold. Jacksons cover of If Youre Not Back In Love By Monday already a hit for Merle Haggard in March 1977 also reached #5 R&B and #43 in the Hot 100 in August. Although the album did not chart in the UK, Feelin Bitchy sold strongly to a dedicated fanbase who had voted her the #1 female singer in the Blues & Soul magazine annual poll. Jackson also performed much of the material on her sold-out UK dates in early 1978.
Feelin Bitchy was not only a commercial success, cementing Jacksons no-nonsense reputation, but is now considered an all-time classic. Her rap on Benny Latimores All The Way Lover stretched the original out like chewing gum to 10 minutes. Back In Love By Monday is a great song an that, she told Black Echoes, but it didnt sell the album. All The Way Lover sold the album. Indeed it did, but other tracks like A Little Taste Of Outside Love Lovin Your Good Thing Away, Cheatin Is and Feelin Like A Woman show that while Jacksons tongue front and centre on the LP cover was always ready to hand out a lashing, it also helped her sing beautifully.
Ace are delighted to reissue Feelin Bitchy on vinyl and Millie Jackson spoke to Ian Shirley about the recording of the album. This interview runs on an inner sleeve along with classic photographs of Jackson from this period.
