5.0 out of 5 stars A thoughtful, gorgeous-sounding album, January 11, 1999

Toni Childs never fails to make me think, and on this album she never fails to make me FEEL!!

This album is both intelligent and emotional, and Toni does a better job of stirring the soul than any other pop singer I've heard. Sarah McLachlan at her best doesn't rival the emotional blitzkrieg of "The Woman's Boat." This is a masterpiece and must-have for any music lovers who consider themselves both intelligent AND sensitive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Artist's work that is written to stand for a life &lifetime, February 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Woman's Boat (Audio CD)

While I have always loved the worldbeat sensibility of Toni's first album, "Union", I did not have a clear sense of who she was until "The Woman's Boat". "House of Hope" pointed, soulfully, in this direction, like an arrow poised, but "Woman's Boat" speaks, not only for herself but for many women, as well as men. This is the album I cannot get enough of. This is the album that leaves me expectantly eager for her next one as well as fearful that I have heard her best. If it is, it is enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Album - some serious stuff, January 7, 2005

First off, I've bought ALL of Tonis other albums. This one took me three listenings to really get to like it. When I found out that it was about a child being born and how her life progressed, I found the work all the more interesting. Some of the songs really stick in your mind. If you see the Album as a story (of a girls life) it makes the Album much more interesting than just listening to the album song by song.

Pink Floyd used to do this, have an album which was a theme or story, like The Wall album.

I took the CD out of my colection after not listening to it for about 5 months, and have been playing it in my car on the way to work and home for over a week now.
It's GREAT. And I'm not a female by the way.

Nice ALbum. If you like Tonis other works,.....GET IT.
