A landmark of Southern soul, I’m Just a Prisoner captures Candi Staton at her most powerful — raw, emotional and steeped in the Muscle Shoals sound. Originally released in 1970, the album blends gospel‑trained vocals with gritty funk rhythms and heart‑wrenching storytelling.

This 2023 Kent Soul reissue (HIQLP123) restores the album with clean stereo clarity, featuring signature cuts such as “Someone You Use”, “Sweet Feeling”, “Do Your Duty” and the iconic title track “I’m Just a Prisoner (Of Your Good Lovin’)”. A must‑have for collectors of deep soul and Southern R&B.
