For any fan of Southern soul or deep soul, this reissue of Doris Duke's most important album, I'm a Loser from 1969 is essential. In a lot of ways, I'm a Loser feels like the hidden blueprint for all the deep soul that followed. The vocals are cut free of the '60s pop aspirations of Motown and even their rougher Southern counterpart, Stax. They're earthy, gritty, and soulful and as close to the church as you can get without getting up Sunday morning. The music is simple, polished, and reserved, jumping into the spotlight only when necessary.1. He's Gone 2. I Can't Do Without You 3. Feet Start Walking 4. Ghost Of Myself 5. Your Best Friend 6.
