Brand new day : the Lenox/Atlantic & Roulette recordings (1962-1970)

"Brand New Day is a very well put together set with the usual in depth history of the recordings. I have to say for me it really took off halfway through the collection, with the fourth and fifth discs being consistently enjoyable and some fine and funky single sides in the second part of disc three. Esther Phillips is usually seen as someone who squandered that early potential with her addiction issues, but on this set it becomes clear that she still produced a fine body of work despite her problems. Remember her on stage on the Burnin' album, enjoying just doing what she did best".
