Millie Jackson's second album 'It Hurts So Good' is a stone cold classic and climbed into the US Top 30 when released in 1973. Not only does the album contain the evergreen 'I Cry' but other smoking tracks like 'Good To The Very Last Drop' and 'Now That You Got It.'
Recorded at her first session at Muscle Shoals, the title track and 'Love Doctor' not only appeared on this LP, but on the big screen in the film Cleopatra Jones starring Tamara Dobson. Issued as a single, 'It Hurts So Good' became Jackson's biggest US chart hit peaking at #24. 'Help Yourself' and The Ashford and Simpson penned 'Don't Send Nobody Else' were also recorded at Muscle Shoals. The balance of the album was recorded in New York sessions with tracks like the finger popping 'Close My Eyes' equal to anything Holland-Dozier-Holland were putting out at that time.
For fans of soul and Millie Jackson this album is essential.
