5.0 out of 5 stars This is not your father's compilation album..., November 22, 2000

By	Kenner Estes "can recite the alphabet... IN O... (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For those of us who tend to associate the words "compilation album" with gas-station-giveaways and magazine-freebies, "Big Fish, Little Fish" is more than just a pleasant surprise - it's a stereotype-shatterer.

This album is a collection of 16 choice tunes from the best female artists on the Chicago music scene today. I only get 1000 words to write this review, and that is just not enough for me to give each artist the attention that she deserves. The simple truth is that each song on this album is excellent, with flavors ranging from jazz to folk, pop to disco, big brass band to solo guitar. Truly, something to suit every taste.

I'd write more, LOTS more, but it's all to the same tune: buy this album. You'll like it. I don't know how to say it more clearly than that.
