This excellent collection is a sister compilation to the recent Dirty Laundry country-soul set, this time focusing on the classic Southern soul tradition of cheating songs. The full range of the ethical spectrum is covered here, from the predatory adulterousness of Ann Peebless ‘Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody’s Home’ through the other-woman misgivings of Doris Duke’s ‘If She’s Your Wife (You’re Just a Friend)‘, and from the bullish protective instinct of Clarence Carter, defending his territory in ’What Was I Supposed to Do?’, to the angry desolation of Bobby Blue Bland on the classic ‘I Wouldn’t Treat a Dog (the Way You Treated Me)’.
