Amazon.com One of the most ambitious box sets yet, the five-CD Respect distills 89 years of recorded women's voices. Disparate styles and attitudes meet and mix with each other in the crosstalk, with personal, social, and musical values melding into an astounding whole. Attentive fans of pop music will probably find most of their major discoveries on the first two discs; for instance, Anna Chandler's 1916 "She's Good Enough to Be Your Baby's Mother and She's Good Enough to Vote with You" may very well find the listener with her or his mouth hanging open. Those unfamiliar with Loretta Lynn's "The Pill," X-Ray Spex's "Identity," or Queen Latifah and Monie Love's "Ladies First" are also likely to be shocked into big grins and furiously nodding heads. The connections to be made here are endless: spinning these largely chronologically sequenced discs in order is mind- and ear-expanding enough, but it's also fun to play, for example, Kitty Wells's "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" and Dusty Springfield's "Son of a Preacher Man" back to back. "We Belong Together," Rickie Lee Jones insists near the end of disc four, and it's hard not to imagine that she's singing to every other woman on Respect. --Rickey Wright Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsIt just keeps getting better and better HLD | Chicago | 01/07/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "When I received this for Christmas, I was overwhelmed to tears reading all the wonderful talent that I held in my hand. Rhino has once again outdone themselves, working extremely hard to represent a century of women who impacted and reflected the times in which they sang. The music is amazing, I continue to get goosebumps hearing many of the songs. Rhino execs admit that they weren't able to include everyone, and have graciously printed the names of hundreds of women who were musicians in the past century. The liner notes continue to match Rhino's top quality standards. What I appreciate most about this box set is that Rhino admits they chose not to include performers who buyers likely already have in their collection (Indigo Girls, the Mamas and the Papas, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, ABBA, Helen Reddy, Karen Carpenter, etc.), but worked to expose listeners to undiscovered nuggets, while still satisfying the craving for well known treasures. I defy any 60s fan (any race, any gender) to listen to Disc 3 and not be overwhelmed with joy at the outpouring of passion, fun and love. This just rocks, plain and simple." Well-researched, great choices, wonderful boxed set HLD | 12/29/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Every selection in this boxed set is musically interesting and adds to the enjoyment of the other selections. Some of the songs are so well known, but don't usually appear together in one place--so it's fun to hear Lesley Gore next to Buffy Sainte-Marie, and only a CD away from Rickie Lee Jones or Billie Holliday. This set doesn't only include the music I already love but I exposes me to outstanding songs from other times that I wouldn't regularly hear otherwise or have the patience (or money) to search out. This boxed set is for anyone with intelligence, taste, and an open mind who wants to hear a great selection of music spanning the last 100 years." A Wonderful Set! D-Bear | 12/07/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "This set endeavors to cover the artists who made a real mark in music, and influenced the artists who followed them. It does an excellent job. Starting with recordings from 1906, it takes the listener on a chronological trip through women's music. Thoughtful, and beautifully packaged, I can't recommend this collection highly enough."
