All Woman - The Best Of All Woman Vol.1 - Various Artists

Advantages: A good mix of songs
Disadvantages: Doesnt help you get through the housework

...A cd thats a couple of years old now but still fun to listen to. I mean this cd says its meant to help you through the housework but I personally dont think it really does,if anything it distracts you,because you just start singing along to all the great tracks this album has to offer, you get caught up in the music and completely lose track of what you were doing - maybe a good thing in a way :-) Housework vol 1 is a double album that has some cracking songs that you just dont seem to hear on the radio anymore such as The Beach Boys - Help Me Rhonda and Don McLeans - American Pie. The songs on this album just make you feel good and really help to lift your spirits,but I honestly think its marketed wrong,this is a feel good album for anyone just not people doing the housework.I dont think the title of the album really represents...

Disadvantages: A couple of weak links

..., and for the older members, the music accompanying this has a touch of the old 70’s hit “Popcorn”, despite being a great danceable track. Robin provides strong vocals, with a great range and plenty of attitude, and promises that she will devote herself to her man, after a series of relationships in which she was taken for granted. Cher’s rendition of “The Shoop Shoop Song” taken from the film “Mermaids” provides a 60’s feel to the album.

Advantages: Soulful, genuine, funky, rare
Disadvantages: None

...'re going back into time..... **1. Laura Lee: Crumbs Off The Table** Fantastic start. Wah wah guitar and an impossibly funky beat with a brilliant deep bass. Her voice is by turns sexy and husky and this midpaced song is full of great surprises and twists and turns. It's about a woman who's man is too tired to make love in the evening's after work and Laura's becoming a bit suspicious. Mark: 5/5 YKSMIWSS: "You ain't able/All you wanna give is the crumbs off the table" **2. Betty Moorer: It's My Thing** This is a cover of the old Isley Brothers tune and sounds quite badly produced as it sounds like Betty's shouting into megaphone. The brass is thre and so is the attitude but this version is sadly almost unlistenable. Mark: 4/5 for the song 1/5 for the production YKSMIWSS: "You say I need love now and that is true/But to me it makes... Read review
