Editorial Review:
The first single to be taken from her third album Back To Basics. Produced by DJ Premier and Charles Roane, it is a thoroughly modern take on vintage Jazz, Soul and Blues from the 1920s, '30s and '40s, creating a wildly inventive sound that's gritty and raw. Features two versions of 'Ain't No Other Man': Radio Version and Instrumental Version. RCA.
Ain't No Other Man Reviews:
One of the fewer upbeat "jazzy" songs on the album. 
2007-11-17 - LOL @ All of the People who thought B2B was a true, modern jazz album.
Anyway, this song still holds up well.
Nice sample. Classy horns. Enough depth to relate. Killer vocals. Nice runs.
4 stars.
Amazing, unique, spectacularly different and artistic 
2006-10-11 - "This girl can sing" says my husband as he watches the video for the first time. He is a dyed-in-the-wool hardrocker, but will always listen to Christina. This song is so unique and different. Great catchy tune that really grows on you. Not your run of the mill bubble gum pop song tune like Kelly Clarkson is churning out!!!
Ooooooohhhhh, I love it!
2006-08-10 - Watch out! Here comes Christina A again and it's a boogie jam! For those who think something has to be House or Techno to be dancable, check this out, it has got the energy and charisma to get you out there dancin'. The song is along the lines of R&B and Hip-Hop and clocks at about 129 BPM. Christina's vocals are soulful as they have always been and sit well in this arrangement. I love how they go into rapid fire during the chorus over an energetic beat.
There are some remixes but the original is best. The Jake Ridley Remix, to some degree follows in the same musical footsteps as the original but with a 4/4 beat and the same roughness as the original. The other remix I have is by Ospina & Sullivan and it's a gospel-tinged House remix which is very smooth. Though this version sounds good, it takes away the song's catchiness.
Remixes these days tend to have that same "cookie-cutter" and "formula" approach with everything having to be 4/4. What I really would have liked to hear is an extended remix with the original music because this song already is dancefloor ready. Perhaps it is just the radio edit of the song in which I have but as the song finishes out is busts out into a nice percussive break that screams for an encore. It is as if it fades prematurely...as I said, this may just be the radio edit.
This song smokes!
Christina at her best
2006-08-01 - No one else on the radio sounds like her. I love this song!! I love the up-beat tempo it has. Christina never disappoints.
There's Nothing New Here 
2006-07-31 - I heard this song on the radio the other day, and I was like,"Lord have mercy! What in the world is?" This song sounds like it's attempting to have an old school flavor mixed with club, but it's not really working. It sounds a complete mess. X-tina's voice sounds digitally enhanced and sped up. And like always, she's still doing the vocal acrobatics. *yawn* Other than that, "Ain't No Other Man" is forgetable and is nothing new.
