Nancy Wilson - This Mother's Daughter

This is the most soulful record Nancy Wilson ever made. Produced by Eugene McDaniels with keyboardists Dave Grusin and George Duke arranging the material. "Producer Eugene McDaniels proves an inspired if surprising choice to helm the session, and his subtle but ingenious jazz-funk flourishes are essential to the project's immediacy and appeal. McDaniels couches Wilson in settings as smooth and rich as velvet, crafting a series of mellow, gently propulsive grooves that flirt with contemporary soul but pay heed to the singer's roots in jazz. Wilson responds with a performance that's sophisticated yet saucy, commanding the spotlight with an intensity that's missing from her lesser Capitol efforts." — All Music Guide
