"'I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You' runs the stylistic gambit without feeling Franklin is doing things just for show. The album isn't trying to function as a resumé of her skills. Genre shifts feel organic and natural. 'Don't Let Me Lose This Dream' is built on a bossa nova groove, while 'Do Right Woman Do Right Man' has a little country ballad flavor. 'Dr Feelgood (Love Is A Serious Business)' -- one of four songs penned by Franklin herself -- is a bluesy belter. She might have been Queen of the genre, but pigeonholing Franklin in soul is like calling Sugar Ray Leonard just a welterweight. She could shuffle through styles as smooth as velvet. Everything is stamped with her own distinct character. (AAA) lacquers cut from tapes by Ryan Smith, Sterling Sound. Pressed on exclusive 180 gram purple and white vinyl. Heavyweight casewrapped jacket with lyric booklet insert."
