Little Ann’s reputation across a variety of scenes has soared in recent times and this 13 track collection includes many previously unreleased alternate takes of cuts that appeared on Timmion’s compilation from 10 years ago. The haunting ‘What Should I Do’ is a classic and shows up in a slightly different form to the widely know take, ‘Sweep It Out The Shed’ is classic R&B tinged Northern, the bright uptempo ‘Lean Lanky Daddy’ is a proper, driving soul-beater while the gritty ‘Who Are You Trying To Fool’ sounds cavernous and raw. The funk chugger ‘I Got To Have You’ sounds like a companion piece to her classic ‘Going Down A One Way Street The Wrong Way’ (which also appears here), the uplifting, protest song ‘Stand Together’ has a gospel feel while the crushing ballad ‘Deep Shadows’ remains one of the best down tempo soul tracks ever. Brilliant collection.
