"This is a reworking of a tune which first appeared on our album 'Deal With It'. The tune is a dedication to soul singer Aretha Franklin, but owes equally to the great jazz bassist and bandleader Charlie Mingus. The two names were put together to form a fictional character. This version features the first ever five-piece incarnation of Brass Jaw, with trombonist Michael Owers joining us. As before the 'fade-in' effect is a result of the musicians moving towards the mics from positions further away in the hall. "
