Millie At Her Finest (and this is NOT the Soundtrack) .......2005-07-20

This STUDIO album is beyond a doubt Millie's finest album, with Caught Up and Still Caught Up a close second and third. Further this CD is NOT the soundtrack to Young Man, Older Women, that is a SEPERATE CD, that was released in the LATE-90's after she took the stage presentation on the road, and the soundtrack has a number of different songs.

Millie takes old-school R & B to an art-form on this release, and the tracks not to miss include; "Taking Your Life Back", "I'm Living With A Stranger" and the hauntingly beautiful "Is It Ever As You Dream", the title track talks about the forbidden fruit of a Young Man, much in the way that Mille talked years earlier about the forbidden fruit of a married man.

If you ever wondered if Millie could really sing (as opposed to talking up a blue-streak), you owe it to yourself to but this CD.

Millie is a one of a kind teasure, that more people need to treat themselves to.

They have been talking about that Jackson Lady for years..........2004-02-07

....Millie Jackson, that is. The real deal diva of everyday ghetto drama. When you go to one of her concerts, put on your seatbelts, it's gonna be a wild ride. She has been provoking all sorts of audiences for a long time. No one's complained about it, though. As far as I know, she keeps packing them in...

Here is the so called original soundtrack to her play Young Man, Older Woman. Actually though it is a collection of the musical numbers done in studio. In my opinion it is one of Millie J's more fully developed concept album since leaving her longtime label Spring and winding up on Jive Records...hey! Ain't that where N Sync and R Kelly reside? Anyway, the best cuts here are the perfect Millie J vehicle "When Are Gonna Tell Your Woman About Me?", the triumphant "Taking My Life Back" and the deliciously naughty title track. On "When Are You..." an unusually willing to compromise Millie asks her fiance to tell the lady he's shacking with to give the 411 about Millie, but the guy won't leave cuz the Shacking Up Lady's got issues. Riiight. Do you think the Millie of yore would put up wid that nonsense? Do you think Millie in *this* product does? "For years I refused to date married men. This **** is worse", she says. Anyhoo, I took my copy of YMOW out for a ride the other day and find I still enjoy the heck of it. I shoulda played it during SB04 half time instead of watching that mess....

AS GOOD AS IT GETS !!!.......2002-05-27

Unlike her 1989 album " BACK TO THE...", which was very sucsessful, this set was not a big sucsess. As we all know 1990/1991 was not a time that r&b/soul was apreciated.URBAN/DANCE-POP and NEW JACK SWING was all the rage at the time.This is an album is so excellent but so underrated. She shines on every track but my favourates are: YOUNG MAN,OLDER WOMAN, TAKING MY LIFE BACK, IF U WANT 2, LOVE DON'T HAVE TO HURT, ARE YOU UP TO IT and LOVE IS ON IT'S WAY. If you love r&b/soul, I urge you to go and buy this album .You don't be disappointed...

Millie Jackson has always been, shall we say, "theatrical." A rapper before rap became its own genre, a stand-up comedian who makes Eddie Murphy sound tame and a female R&B singer whose stage show makes Madonna's seem timid, Jackson has long laced her Southern soul songs with long monologues full of frank talk about sex and even franker demands for female equality in the bedroom. On recent tours, Jackson has taken the next logical step and turned her monologues and characters into a storyline built around "Young Man, Older Women," a song from her last album. Now that stage show has been documented in a semi-live album, Young Man, Older Woman--The Cast Album. Written by Doug and Helen Smith and narrated by the beefy transvestite Kenneth "Chocolate Thunder" Montague, the story finds Jackson married to comedian Reynaldo Rey. She sings straightforwardly about "Living with a Stranger," but the mood shifts as he turns aside her bawdy suggestions with cracks about her weight problem. She responds with the bluesy taunt, "You're Gonna Miss Me (When I'm Gone)." She walks out and finds herself unhappy being single, so she goes to see a quack psychiatrist, who tries to seduce her in an effort to free her inner self. Jackson finally decides she has to make it as an independent woman, and she belts out the showstopper, "Taking My Life Back." The album is an uneven combination of high-fidelity studio recordings and low-fidelity live recordings. The material, too, is an erratic mix of raunchy humor and generic, sentimental soul songs. The other performers tend to disappear behind the wattage of Jackson's personality, and her jokes too often go for the obvious rather than the surprise twist. She is an underrated soul singer, but none of her new songs taxes her talents too strenuously. --Jeffrey Himes

A very exciting and funny album!.......2002-10-12

I've been a Millie Jackson fan for years. I like Millie because she's real, she's better than all the other female singers and she's funny, and she makes this album a good album to check out.

I first heard this album back in 93 when I was over my aunt's house. I thought that it was a comedy album, but it happened to have some songs on it. The album begins with this gay man that talks about the "new" Millie Jackson. It's funny because after each song there was a dialog. So to be honest, I dont know whether to call this a comedy album or an live R&B album.

My favorite song on this album is "Someday,we'll all be free". It sounds better than the original from Donny Hathaway. But when I heard the song, it sounded kinda funny because Millie's voice was real deep.

I'm not really into half the songs on there, I was just intrested in the dialogs because they were real funny. That guy, Reynaldo Rey played her husband and kept insulting her about her weight! I swear, it was funny!

But if you want a good laugh and some good music, this album's the one. "Taking my life back" starts out as Millie saying to herself "I can do this! I'm taking my life back" she
sings for a few minutes than she talks about relationships. This happens to be the funniest track on the album.

But I think this album is basically for women since she talks about men the whole time. The stuff Millie says on here isnt any diffrent than what these female comedians be saying on TV.

But I like Millie Jackson. I've been a big fan of her since I was a kid. I grew up on her music. I always thought she was sexy!

I give this album 3 stars. It's a good R&B album, but I like some of her older albums better.
