Tolkien Collection, The - Kim Skovbye

Advantages: Plenty of good pop/dance numbers and one classic
Disadvantages: One or two dull ones

...You" was always a rather uninteresting song and she can't really do much for it, but we're all allowed the odd lapse. But in my opinion, the real 22-carat corker on this collection is her 1985 Top 20 hit, "Rage To Love", a superb rockabilly tune which, her vocals apart, sounds like the Stray Cats. It was remixed by none ther than the mighty Dave Edmunds - now, a Kim album with Dave producing, there's a thought!... Read review

A tremendous album from a tremendous artist.... Read review
