{"product_id":"millie-jackson_feelin-bitchy_2024_soc","title":"FEELIN' BITCHY","description":"In the spring of 1977, Millie Jackson was in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, composing the tracks for what would become “Feelin’ Bitchy” with co-producer Brad Shapiro. Released in August 1977, the album reached number 4 and number 34 on the US Billboard R\u0026B and Hot 100 charts, becoming a gold record with over 500,000 copies sold. Jackson's cover of \"If You're Not Back In Love By Monday\"—already a hit for Merle Haggard in March 1977—also reached number 5 on the R\u0026B chart and number 43 on the Hot 100 in August. Although the album didn't chart in the UK, \"Feelin' Bitchy\" sold strongly to a dedicated fanbase who voted her number 1 female singer in Blues \u0026 Soul magazine's annual poll. Jackson also performed much of the material during her sold-out UK dates in early 1978. \"Feelin' Bitchy\" was not only a commercial success, cementing Jackson's no-nonsense reputation, but it is now considered an all-time classic. Her rap on Benny Latimore's \"All The Way Lover\" stretched the original like chewing gum to 10 minutes. \"'Back In Love By Monday' is a great song and all,\" she told Black Echoes, \"but it didn't sell the album. 'All The Way Lover' sold the album.\" Indeed it did, but other tracks like \"A Little Taste Of Outside Love,\" \"Lovin' Your Good Thing Away,\" \"Cheatin' Is,\" and \"Feelin' Like A Woman\" show that while Jackson's tongue—prominently featured on the LP cover—was always ready to hand out a lashing, it also helped her sing beautifully. Ace is delighted to re-release \"Feelin' Bitchy\" on vinyl, and Millie Jackson spoke to Ian Shirley about the making of the album. This interview is featured on an inner sleeve with classic photographs of Jackson from that period.","brand":"Millie Jackson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55312592175448,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0029667023214.jpg?v=1760402643","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/millie-jackson_feelin-bitchy_2024_soc","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
