Wearing the producer’s hat, Brown showcases the “Female Preacher” on songs and styles from standards to funk to Southern and Philly soul. Collins injects soul and sweat into a couple of standards, and pays homage to the sound of Philadelphia on a quality remake of “Back Stabbers” and a dramatic five-minute-plus rendition of “If You Don’t Know Me by Now“.
