It’s Gonna Work Out Fine was an early album from vibrant soul act Ike & Tina Turner before they became commercially established. The title track was a US No. 14 hit single.

Its Gonna is a return to the real Ike & Tina jukebox style with rollicking pianos, fiery guitars, drums and the vibrant Ikettes. Nothing matches the title track, although This Man's Crazy shows Tina as Little Richard (and she's having such fun).”

It's Gonna Work Out Fine was named after their hit single from 1961, a call and response song, unusually not written by Ike. Although there were no other singles from the album, there a number of great tracks which could have been, including Mojo Queen, Foolish, This Man's Crazy and the could-have-been dance sensation the Tinaroo. I can just imagine the frantic routine with Tina and The Ikettes, who add so much to the sound of this album.”

“A good collection of soul, R & B, rock & roll and blues songs that flirt with pop. Tina Turner's imposing voice sounds a bit like Little Richard.”

“Ike and Tina give us a vocal duet, and once again Tina outshines Ike as the driving talent behind this duo. Elements of doo-wop combine with an early rock and roll guitar line and another tearing vocal performance from Tina – the likes of which clearly went on to be a big influence on the Janis Joplin’s of the world down the track.”
