Ann Peebles was one of the most powerful voices to emerge from the Hi Records stable in the early 1970s, delivering raw, deeply felt soul music that has stood the test of time. Straight From The Heart, originally released in 1972, showcases her remarkable ability to channel emotion into every performance, backed by the lush, groove-driven sound that defined the Hi Records era.

The album is a masterclass in Southern soul, featuring standout tracks like the gutbucket funk of "Somebody's on Your Case" and the moving "How Strong Is A Woman," along with a collaboration with R&B vocalist Denise LaSalle on "What You Laid On Me." Now reissued by Fat Possum Records, this pressing brings Peebles' timeless performances back to life in the warm, rich format that suits her music best.
