Marva Wright, who sings in clubs in New Orleans, has previously released a cassette tape from Tipitina's (club), but this better-quality production shows what the lady can do. Big, belting gospel sound is burnished by wit and finesse. Her anthem "I Aint Built for Comfort, I'm Built for Speed" is here, along with some Irma Thomas and Koko Taylor covers ("It's Raining" might make you forget Miss Thomas's version) and more. "Members Only" (new to me) is great. Marva Wright deserves a national audience...she follows boldly in the footsteps of the queens of the blues, with her signature upbeat touch. Marvalous!!!!! ---amazon.com
