Title: I am woman, hear me slide
Review: I just bought this CD, my first by her, and am somewhat disappointed in it. Well, lets just say I couldn't listen to it anymore this morning after about half of it.The musicianship is excellent. The vocals, though powerful, are so affected that it became unlistenable to me.I can hear that she has her own voice here and there, but to a greater degree she's trying to emulate something, and it gets grating to keep listening to it.I also found the CD titles of all her stuff to be a bit affected too. Is she afraid that someone will forget she's a woman?Gone Woman Blues, I am Every woman (oh puhleeze), Mama's Blues, etc, etc. Makes me wonder if she's jockeying for the Holly Neer Award in the Delta Blues category.If I could find another CD of her's where the vocals come from her heart and not from her marketing plan, I'd buy it.
Is the review positive or negative?
