Catalog Number: BRNS754156 Color: Black Format: LP Barbara's third album could, and should, have been so much more than it eventually became. Brunswick Records obviously still did not know how to market Acklin, saddling her with a bunch of songs culled straight from Broadway and various cocktail lounges. There's a Latinesque version of "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (Corvocado)" and an almost unbearably sugary take on "More". Some of the overproduction seeps in on the otherwise good title track. But luckily, there's plenty of brassy Windy City goodness here as well. The hand-clappin' soul shake "After You" is pure Chicago Soul, and the right amount of polish is added to the original ballad "Is It Me". There's some heavily distorted rock guitar in "What's It Gonna Be", a great tune, the intro of which is slightly reminiscent of "Eleanor Rigby". And whereas the dreamy, string-drenched ballad "He's Just a Little Guy" is a bit over-bearing at times, the hoppin' beater "More Today Than Yesterday" makes up for it. And Acklin's version of BS&T's "Spinning Wheel" arguably is the funkiest moment on the album. Finally, there is another sweet ballad from the pens of producer duo Carl Davis and Eugene Record, with "More Ways Than One".
