Welcome to
Episode 12 of Love That Album: The Compilation Series hosted by Eric
Reanimator.
This time,
Eric is shouting from the mountain tops “Let’s hear it for the girls!!!” He is
looking at three very different compilations but with the common element being
women being the singing and performing focus.
For starters, he’s discussing Flowers In The
Wildwood (Women In Early Country Music 1923-1939) released in 2003. This album has songs with gorgeous country harmonies
from artists (with exceptions like The Carter Family) that have long been
forgotten about.
Next up, there’s Girl Crazy (1998), a compilation
of girl garage bands from the 90s, including one called Maow featuring a
drummer we all know and love (I’m calling YOU John Ross)….yup early Neko Case.
Finally, there’s Stiff Nipples (1999), a compile of
unsigned female fronted bands from Norway. It’s stylistically mixed, but with
some cool bands like The Launderettes and the Barbarellas.
As usual, Eric has dug up some gem albums to bring
to your attention. Give him your support and download this great episode. How
can you resist a show that ends with a song called I Wanna Jump Your Bones???
