Rhino Records compiled a deluxe
five-CD box set giving props to female artists who made music
history during the 20th century. Spanning 1909-1998,
R-E-S-P-E-C-T's 114 songs include nearly every genre of popular music,
voicing the struggles, stereotypes, and successes that
have helped to define 'The Year of the Woman,' a ubiquitous
catch-phrase used to describe successful female artists since
the early '90s. Tori's Silent All These Years
is included on Disc 5, entitled, "Hip-Hop, Pop, and Passion."
Artists include Sophie Tucker, Anna Chandler, Paula Cole, Sarah McLachlan,
Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Judy Garland, Mahalia Jackson, Ethel Merman,
Patsy Cline, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin,
Patti Smith, Tina Turner, Dolly Parton, Joan Baez, Fleetwood Mac,
Laurie Anderson, the Go-Go's, the Pretenders, Blondie, Sinead O'Connor,
k.d. lang, Queen Latifah, Amelia Earhart, Eleanor Roosevelt,
Marilyn Monroe, Billie Jean King, and Anita Hill.
Featuring an original painting by artist Christine Haberstock on the
cover, the collection is beautifully packaged in a journal-sized
burgundy velvet-colored box that includes eight postcards featuring
other illustrations by Haberstock and lyric quotes from some of the
set's songs. The extensive liner notes penned by female authors and
journalists, offer the women's perspective on the evolution of
women in music.
