2018 – Lady "A"

Doin’
Fine, the fourth album from Anita White aka Lady
“A” is a terrific follow-up to her 2016 album, Loved, Blessed, and Blues. Teaming
up once again with producer Dexter Allen, this singer/songwriter from
the Pacific Northwest makes sure the record is loaded with funky soul and smooth
blues. With Lady “A” on vocals
and Allen on guitars and bass, Chris “Rattlesnake” Minter holds
down the drums, and Joey Robinson accompanies on both piano and drums.
Like that first ray of sunshine that carves its beautiful
path to earth each day, title track “Doin’ Fine” sets the stage for a an
enlightening listen and reassures everything will be ok. This upbeat opener reels me right in with its
gospel-infused rhythm and Lady “A’s” spirited vocals. “Change the World” wonderfully plays like a
recently uncovered Otis Redding song.
Poignant and beautiful, this song expresses a strong desire to make the
world a better place. “Throw Down” is a
whole lot of fun too. Blessed by a funk in
the style of George Clinton, this tune is an absolute treat.
Lady
“A” who also hosts the award-winning online radio shows,
The Gumbo & Gospel Show, and Black N Blues on NWCZ Radio once
again scores big points with this new album.
It definitely grabs my attention.
