Back to the S**t!


Back to the S**t! is the third live album by the American R&B singer Millie Jackson. Jive Records released the album on May 26, 1989. Recorded on January 13 and 14, 1989, at the Blues Alley in Baltimore, the album features performances of three songs from Jackson's studio album An Imitation of Love, six original songs, and a cover of The Shirelles's "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". It received a mixed reception from music critics. The album was reissued in 1995 with new artwork under the title Hot! Wild! Unrestricted!
It is notable for its cover, which features Jackson sitting on a toilet with a pair of panties down to her ankles, with a strained expression on her face.

Artwork

When asked about the album's artwork, Jackson stated: "It's like you gotta go all the way or no way at all".

Critical reception

Ron Wynn of AllMusic claimed that Jackson "sounded more vibrant, inspired, and humorous than she had in years." Billboard opined that the album was not as noteworthy as Jackson's previous output; however, it highlighted "I'm Waiting Baby" and "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" as standouts. Music & Media claimed that the album's "arrangements are a bit slick in places, this is sufficiently compensated by Jackson's uncompromising performance."
