Various Artists: Global Divas - Voices from Women of the World

This three [part] compilation features 40 of the most stunning female vocalists on the planet. As diverse as the women representing America are (Marian Anderson, Patsy Cline and the great Aretha Franklin) artists representing the rest of the world mirror that same attention to variety. High marks go to producer Brooke Wentz and Rounder Records. . . . This is as unique a celebration of women as there is. . . . This powerful disc is a fine reminder of the sisters in the brotherhood of man."
