Comments:

A sublime collection of female artists and female-fronted bands. There isn't a single bad track and they all fit together well. Many familiar names and some exciting new discoveries are featured. Most of the tracks are soft, but none leave me wishing for something else as they are pretty varied in instrumentation and tone.
     It's a fabulous record. (stjarnell@yahoo.com)
