Millie Jackson - Loving Arms: Soul Country Collection

2014 collection from the R&B/Soul vocalist that spotlights her passion for Country music. Millie made a Country-flavored album in the early 80 's but not all of the featured repertoire was actually Country. LOVING ARMS, by contrast, brings together all the Country songs that Millie recorded for Spring during the 1970 's and early 80 's, for the first time in one package. These songs were originally recorded by performers such as Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard, Don Gibson, Kenny Rogers and Mac Davis. Millie's respect for their work shines through these classic performances - two of which feature her great friend, Isaac Hayes. As a bonus for all Millie collectors, we also feature Millie's version of Gretchen Wilson's 'Redneck Crazy' - recorded especially for this collection and Millie's first new material in more than 10 years. The detailed CD booklet features a new interview with Millie, conducted for this project.
