Let's be honest here. If you're buying a Millie Jackson LP then you have a pretty good idea of what the material is going to be like. That said, 1978's "Get It Out 'Cha System" is actually one of Jackson's more consistent and enjoyable efforts. Co-produced by Jackson and Brad Shapiro, nothing here is a major departure from her earlier catalog. Tracks such as "Keep the Home Fire Burnin'", "Logs and Thangs" and "Sweet Music Man" are fairly standard "I don't take no crap from loser guys" vamps. Jackson's in fine voice throughout; occasionally recalling Gladys Knight - check out the surprisingly mainstream ballad "Why Say You're Sorry"). In fact, to our ears the only real misstep here is a needless cover of Dolly Parton's mega hit "Here You Come Again". (Um, note to the album cover designers ... while there's no denying Jackson's pretty friggin' hot, dressing her in what looks like an over-sized diaper isn't exactly the most sexy move of the year.)
