Description
There’s a natural critical tendency to treat an artist’s final statement with extra sensitivity due to the circumstances surrounding those recordings. But Soul Of A Woman stands proudly on its own and would be equally as impressive if Jones was still alive, shimmering and butt-shaking her way across stages like in her prime. It’s not just a rousing bookend to a remarkable, late-starting career, but a terrific and moving soul explosion that stands as one of the finest in her limited yet extraordinary catalog. – American Songwriter
