5.0 out of 5 stars
Brilliant disco album from linedancing's finest singer, July 27, 2002
This review is from: By Request (Audio CD)
I'm not into linedancing (or any kind of dancing) but it is a part of the country music scene, so it's music is of interest to me. Scooter Lee originally tried to make it as a country singer, but it was the linedancing community which accepted her music. Some of her music is more rooted in country. This particular album has very little to do with country (Scooter's country voice is the only link) but a lot to do with the seventies disco scene, yet another genre of music which I like.
Scooter is better known in Europe than her native America, and it may have been her European fans who requested these songs, which include covers of Tommy Roe (Dizzy), Bee Gees (Stayin' alive, If I can't have you), Abba (Dancing queen), KC and the sunshine band (That's the way I like it), Van McCoy (The hustle) and other disco classics, plus one song Scooter wrote herself (Bad thing). You might think the 1940's song At last (a big hit for Glenn Miller) would be out of place. Not so - it fits perfectly - Glenn was way ahead of his time.
A great album in many ways (perhaps only Scooter could pull it off), but I'm not sure who this is really aimed at, beyond Scooter's own fans. If you only like country music, you may not like all these disco songs. On the other hand, if you're a disco fan, you may not like this either, because it's not as slick as your normal disco album. As someone with wide musical tastes, I can truly enjoy this kind of album, but how wide are your tastes?
