That Ain't Right - Magic Slim & The Teardrops & Joe Cart

Advantages: Consistant quality
Disadvantages: A couple of tracks let it down

...turns you on." as the leading chorus line, and from here you get a sense of him really having lots of affection for hgis lady as he is really taking notice of what is required so that he can be the complete man for her, and not someone who can be seen as the nearest substitute to this. **Five Stars** "Treat Her Like a Lady" I felt that this track had the production working off the lyrics better than anywhere else on the album as Joe begins by saying "Something ain't right", and the music seems to follow the emotions of beign alerted, and looking for something out of place.

Advantages: easy to listen to, great guitar riffs
