Music reviews of Candi Staton
Music Review: Surefire Inspiration For A Future Tarantino Film
Rating: 5 Stars
Someday, Quentin Tarantino will discover (or rediscover) this great unheralded soul dynamo and pluck her from obscurity by featuring a song or two of hers in one of his films. I can say this with gleeful assurance because this is precisely the kind of music he seems to love rescuing from the dreaded Bargain Bin Of The Arcane: plenty funky, abundantly sassy, deep southern soul with a side of wounded vulnerability. Just as Dusty Springfield's "Son Of A Preacher Man" bewitched a whole new generation after "Pulp Fiction" premiered, it is entirely foreseeable that "I'm Just A Prisoner" and "Love Chain" will eventually grace the opening/closing credits of his inevitable women-in-prison movie.
These are the kind of hard-livin' soul songs you hear for the first time and lament that so much of your life has passed by without them in it. Staton's vocals swagger and shimmer with the best southern belters out there, easily placing her in the ranks of the esteemed Etta James, a fellow Muscle Shoals Studios graduate. And, like Etta, Candi finds the perfect balance of tough and tender to appeal to men and women equally.
The few reviews I've found on this album heaped praise on her rendition of "Stand By Your Man", which is brilliant, no doubt. But for the life of me, I cannot understand why "He Called Me Baby" was never a massive hit. Over a transcendent mix of staccato guitar, saloon piano, orchestral strings, and lovesick horn blasts, Candi absolutely wails away the pain and longing. Women will empathize, men will fantasize. It is, in short, three and a-half minutes of perfect pop.
This album is replete with such heart-breaking, hip-shifting moments. Future-You will owe Present-Day-You a big debt of gratitude if you spring for this record. It'll be the one you reach for instinctively every time you're heartsick--or hope to be. And when Mr. Tarantino finally catches up with you and makes Ms. Staton a star, you can say you knew her when.
