Description
"Black Woman" is widely acknowledged to be the greatest reggae LP ever recorded by a female artist. Most of the material was written, arranged and produced by Judy as an inspirational evocation of the special trials and triumphs of women -especially black women. No artist has been more consistently inspirational than Judy Mowatt, key member of Bob Marley's I-Threes, and tireless messenger on behalf of the oppressed. Her instrument is her gorgeous voice - warm, soulful, effortlessly soaring, a singer for all times. She transends the category of reggae, recording since the earliest stages of her career soul ballads, gospel, rocking message songs and uptempo pop. Judy Mowatt makes music to be played and savoured over and over again.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.
