Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Austin's leading ladies of contemporary blues team up for the best album ever on club-owner Clifford Antone's label. The songs mix Ike Turner gems with three Ball compositions, two from bassist Sarah Brown, and others by Harold Battiste and Lavelle White. Which means the accent is on old-fashioned hooks and harmonies, perfectly executed right from the opening Ike and Tina hit "A Fool in Love." All three women sing lead on that number, but otherwise they trade the spotlight. Ball's singing is tart 'n' sweet, with a hint of Texas dust. Her barrelhouse piano is the CD's most distinctive instrumental voice. And her "Snake Dance" is the biggest surprise, conjuring a New Orleans voodoo vibe. Strehli belts in clear, powerful tones--imagine Ma Rainey as a rocker. Barton sings sassy, with a slight sultry slur--also with the know-how to make "Good Rockin' Daddy" '50s perfect. Barton's career stalled after this 1990 session, while Ball and Strehli have continued to make excellent recordings. --Ted Drozdowski

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic!!!!, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Dreams Come True (Audio CD)

Nearly ten years after its release, this remains one of the great modern blues albums. Marcia, Lou Ann and Anglea sing their hearts out on perfectly chosen and arranged songs. And, don't forget the important contributions by Sarah Brown-- she's the fourth great lady on this cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every song on this CD is exceptional!!, September 23, 1998

This is by far my favorite CD. These three compliment each other's talents. It is impossible to sit still during "A Fool In Love" or "I Idolize You". Love, Sweet Love should bring tears to anyone who has a heart. There is not a single song on this CD that I would skip over. Every one is great!
