Caught Up/Still Caught Up

Amazon.com
The 1974 Caught Up was Millie Jackson's breakthrough, a soul opera about infidelity with Jackson playing the "other woman" on one side-long suite, punctuated with an extended, down-and-dirty rap, and the wronged wife on the other. With the Muscle Shoals rhythm section's rippling pulse and slick, protodisco orchestrations backing up Jackson's histrionic but sensitive readings of a string of cheating-song covers (plus some originals that advance the plot), this was as high-concept as '70s soul got, and it's kept its savage emotional force even as its style dates it. This reissue couples it with the 1975 sequel Still Caught Up, which forces the narrative a little (it ends with the mistress going insane and being hauled away!) but spawned the hit "Leftovers." --Douglas Wolk

This is a sho nuff soul masterpiece........2007-05-05

Millie Jackson definitely put it down on these two recordings. I really loved all of the songs on this disc. This may well be her best recording along with the other title "Feelin' Bitchy". If you're any kind of fan of this lady's, then you should have this title in your collection. I'm still laughing and enjoying it.

One of her best !!

Play on "repeat" for days at a time!.......2006-12-02

Like a great Joan Crawford movie, this album grows in stature the more times you expose yourself to it's loopy logic and hyperactive emotionalism. It is GREAT music, as beautifully produced as anything from the 1970s. It's stuffed with drama and melodrama- child, they drag somebody off IN A STAIGHTJACKET at the end of this soap opera! There are truly adult situations and some great filthy gags. There are two foolish women, in love with the same cheating man, grappling for a little bit of happiness with violins, electric guitars and some great horns. Sure chortle about "that'd make us wife-in-laws!" but the beauty of the music and the real humanity of the characters will hold your attention for many, many hours. A TREASURE!

My mom loved it!.......2006-07-15

I was very pleased with my purchase. I received in two days which was great!! I will order from Amazon again

Two Great Albums on One CD [2 & 1/2 stars for re-issue].......2005-02-23

This could have been a great re-issue if some additional songs were included: b-sides, single versions, remixes, live recordings, etc (maybe a bonus CD or DVD). Still, this is a nice album to have, despite how much it overlaps with Millie's "Totally Unrestricted!" anthology. It is a concept album: it plays like a musical; each song is about the same relationship(s) and mixes into the next track. Millie sings from the perspectives of both the wife and the mistress (or the girlfriend and the "other woman" that he married, depending on one's point-of-view). "Making the Best of a Bad Situation", "Tell Her It's Over", and "I Still Love You (You Still Love Me)" are must-haves for Millie fans.

Album Description

Millie Jackson's "Still Caught Up" was her equally compelling follow-up to "Caught Up" - still one of Soul music's most acclaimed albums of all time. Consistently in catalogue for over 30 years, it too has been available on a Southbound CD since that label's inception. Now, after 15 years, it's getting a well-deserved makeover that will introduce the album to a whole new generation of potential MJ fans, as part of a general upgrading of Millie's Spring catalogue.

As with the "Caught Up" reissue, fresh mastering from the original Spring album production tapes is enhanced by the addition of previously unheard material.

We've included an early, rehearsal version of `The Memory Of A Wife' and a previously unissued song, `How Can I Make Sweet Love To You (When You Won't Stand Still)', both specially mixed for inclusion in this package.

Extensive annotation that includes Millie's own recent reminiscences on the "Still Caught Up" sessions, and many previously-unseen photos from the period, help to ensure that Ms Jackson's still massive fan base will have much else to celebrate in addition to the bonus recorded material.

A mid-price import reissue.

Caught Up, Act 2........2006-12-29

This followup to Ms. Jackson's tour de force album, Caught Up, continues the saga of the Wife and the Mistress. The disk opens with a great live read of Loving Arms, recorded before a packed house, and a
very tardy Mr. Jackson arrives as the show closes.

Millie then launches into the heartbreaks that any relationship causes, and if you do not feel this womens pain
you have no soul. Making The Best of A Bad Situation, Tell Her It's Over, and Leftovers being the standouts.

Millie closes the album with the heartfelt, I Still Love You (You Still Love Me), prooving that even the strongest, securist person, still needs loving.
