Rappin' Millie
has everything working in high gear on this commercial outing. She peps up
Latimore
's &Keep the Home Fires Burnin',& turning it into a surefire winner, and excels on
Bobby
and
Cecil Womack
's &Put Something Down On It,& preempting it with a saucy rap called &Logs and Thangs.& The husky-voiced singer claims
Dolly Parton
's &Here You Come Again,& transforming the country-pop hit into a soulful item. This set is heavy on uptempo material, but the ballads &Why Say You're Sorry,& &He Wants to Hear the Woe,& and &I Just Wanna Be With You& rank with Millie's best. Oddly, the best song, &Sweet Music Man,& is the last track on the CD; it begins with a tight rap, and features a aching, heartfelt vocal from Millie. The disc is a reissue that was originally released on Spring Records in 1978.
