"IMAGINE COLLARD GREENS SLOW COOKING ON THE STOVE, A FEW BLACK LOVE INCENSE BURNING IN THE LIVING ROOM ,BIG MAMA SITTING ON THE PORCH SNAPPING GREEN BEANS, BIG BERTHA YELLING OUT OF HER SCREEN DOOR FOR HER KIDS TO COME INSIDE AND JUNEBUG AND HIS CREW PLAYING DICE ON THE CORNER....



WELL THAT'S WHERE THIS ALBUM WILL TAKE YOU.... WHERE LIFE WAS SO FULL OF SOUL YOU COULD ALMOST TASTE IT...CANDI STATON BY FAR IS ONE OF THE MOST SOULFUL FEMALE SINGERS OF THIS 21ST CENTURY. ALTHOUGH MY IDOL ARETHA WAS CROWNED THE QUEEN OF SOUL AND DESERVEDLY SO... CANDI STATON ALONG WITH MAVIS STAPLES HAS TRULY GIVEN ARETHA A RUN FOR HER MONEY. YOU SHOULD RUN... NOT WALK.... AND PICK UP A COPY OF "HIS HANDS" FROM START TO FINISH THIS ALBUM IS DRENCHED IN HOT-BUTTERED- MISSISSIPPI-SHO'NUFF-SOUL.... WHILE LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM YOU WILL BE TRANSPORTED TO TIME AND PLACE WHERE SINGERS HAD TO SANG... NOT SING, WHAT SO AMAZING IS THE FACT THAT THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED LAST YEAR"
