The ladies of too slow to disco - vol.2

Description

Too Slow To Disco kicks off the new decade with a new journey of musical discovery from the late 70s and early 80s. In 2015, the label How Do You Are? released The Ladies of Too Slow to Disco, highlighting a group of strong and independent women from the west coast, singer/songwriters who fiercely fought against male dominance in all areas of music and business. Five years later, after the #metoo movement, this new volume takes us even deeper into the history of these female musicians. DJ Supermarkt offers a multitude of new discoveries and female musical treasures. The album features two artists, Holly Near and Linda Tillery, who were active and central in the Women's Music movement. It was music written by women, for women, and about women. This was part of the feminist movement, with participants often being lesbians who, for the first time, openly wrote songs sharing their perspective. Alongside them are many Grammy-winning or nominated artists, five African American artists, and much more to discover. Some of these songs are highly sought after tracks, lost in the vast world of major label archives, and are being reissued for the first time from the original tapes, like the classic 7" "I Love To Boogie" by British superstar Lulu. You will find the touch and spirit of these Ladies in countless albums by the biggest stars in music history. Enjoy the ride. The record is a ray of sunshine in itself!SOUL
