3.0 out of 5 stars Not Quite the Best, March 31, 2001

Heartbeat does it again with this hit and miss compilation of female reggae singers. While only a fool would dispute the greatness of No No No by Dawn Penn (this is the reason to buy the comp), and the rare and charming Buck Town Corner by the Jay Tees is a nice suprise, the comp as a whole suffers from not concentrating solely on one era. Had they stuck to the rock steady years instead of including recent appropriations of that eras sound (Nana McLean's Don't Worry About Me) it would have resulted in a much more satisfying product. Heartbeat has a long tradition of mix and match the era reggae comps and this one is no exception.

Good collection of old-skook and not-as-old-skool. There isn't anything too modern, which is fine with me. Initially, a few tracks jumped out at me as great, but after a few commute driving listening sessions, I really like the whole thing. Lots of the old Studio One sound in there, mixed with later livelier material. This didn't have some of the people I had hoped to see, like Phyllis Dillon, but that's what trying new music is all about. 4 1/2 stars for me.

The songs on this c.d. are all wonderful. A few of them are my absolute favorite though such as "No No No" by Dawn Penn. I love to play this song over and over again. I also love "What about me" by Myrna Hague; this song I can't resist singing along with. It is such a heart felt song and the lyrics are so sad but it is beautiful as well. Two more songs that I love on this track are both by Cecile Campbell. It is difficult to find samples of both of these songs to listen to over the net. They are "Whisper to me" and "Leave me in misery." I bought this c.d. over six years ago and I still love it.
