Perhaps because seven out of ten songs here were written by Ann (in collaboration with her husband, singer-songwritter Donal Bryant, and several others) I Can't Stand the Rain feels like her most personal album. It's quieter, less aggressive then much of Ann's previous work, but no less assured. With her marvelous raw honey voice- so whispy sweet it breaks, then so full and hard it's chilling- she can be both tough and tender, sometimes in the same song. But whether heartbroken or joyous, rightously vengeful or disillusioned, Peebles always has a strength, a personal fire that makes each song glow from deep inside.
Ann Peebles - I Can't Stand the Rain
Loved it from the first four bars in. Killer soul song.
Ann Peebles - I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down (Live 1989)
Down with R&B and Rap and long live Soul. And above all, long live Ann Peebles. She is the queen of this song and a fabulous singer full stop. Blinding stuff, brilliant stuff.
