  • Description

    Black Woman is widely regarded as a roots reggae classic - the greatest reggae album ever recorded by a female artist.

    Judy Mowatt came to prominence as a member of Bob Marley's I-Three backing group and as such was onstage before millions around the world. She launched her solo career in 1975 and released a string of acclaimed solo recordings over the next 15 years.

    Highlights of Black Woman include "Joseph," Judy's moving gospel-infused ballad tribute to Bob Marley; splendid interpretations of two classic Wailers songs, "Concrete Jungle" and "Put It On," the anthemic Rasta hymn "Sisters' Chant" and her original message song "Slave Queen"
    and the title track.
