No reduction a think pop-culture management than Howard Stern has regularly admitted that "everyone loves lesbians!" But what do lesbians love? Rhino Records resolutely claims to know a low-pitched answer to that doubt on this richly heterogeneous collection of womanlike artists gathered for a lesbian audience. And if that's a bold--if straightforwardly transparent--marketing move, it shouldn't confuse one from a attracts of this cross-genre compilation. The songs here run a progression from acoustic angst (Ani DiFranco) to cocktail (Wendy and Lisa, Jill Sobule), MOR (Taylor Dayne), folk (Two Nice Girls), and dance (Fem 2 Fem). k.d. lang contributes "Just Keep Me Moving," while cult fave Phranc gives Herman's Hermits old "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" a new slant. The emotions operation from heated sensuality (particularly Janis Ian's moist "Ride Me Like a Wave") to a steely pragmatism of Sandra Bernhard's reconstitute of Paul Simon's "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover." -Jerry McCulley

I'm a true guy. Matter of fact, we demeanour like a bouncer who wouldn't let we into that bar in college. That carrying been said, let's pitch all stereotypes, theirs no room for them in music. we know a normal patron would boot this pretension though giving it a second look. But, Lesbian Favorites earns, during slightest a peak. We all know and honour K.D. Lang, Taylor Dayne, and Ani DiFranco. If you're a fan, chances are we already have these songs. But, it's a artistes who've been stealing in a periphery that make this collection compulsory listening for folk/rock fans. Case in point: Gretchen Phillips who gained prominence with Two Nice Girls in a early nineties. You remember, she was a designer behind a alt classical "I spent my final $10.00 on birth control and beer." What? Haven't listened it. No problem, it's lane 18. As for Grech's formerly unissued cut "Swimming", take my word that it would plea a sensuality of any other strain on a market. Another important is Disappear Fear. A nifty duet from Maryland, that lives median between a Indigo Girls and Shawn Colvin. Others such as: Jane Siberry, Farron, Dar Williams, and Janis Ian have been creation good strain for a prolonged time and merit their day in court. If you're a folk/rock fan afterwards check out this groovy representation of best musicians.

If we suffer this form of music, we won't be dissapointed by this album. A few good known-artists, such as k.d. lang, Ani DiFranco, and Jill Solbule appear, as good as some obtuse famous artists such as Gretchen Philips, and Wendy&Lisa contribute. Jill Solbule shines with a perky, gleefull "I Kissed a Girl." Ani DiFranco adds a thoughtfull story "In or Out" about complexities of relationships. Dar Williams has a guitar-and accordian(?) driven "As cold as we am." Jane Siberry sings a flowy, mysterious, slow-paced nonetheless well-driven "Temple."
I was a bit let down that some other artists did not appear, such as Melissa Etheridge, and M'Shell N'Degcello. However, we did suffer a oppurtunity to hear some new voices, such as Fem 2 Fem, Betty, Phranc. Well value checking out.

You're a girl. You do dishes to Belly, we do 'the depressed thing' to Tori, we sing along to a Indigo Girls like you're in front of a campfire. You need a record like this to live by, to duty by. None of a aforementioned artists are on this record, though their ilk is. Kristen Hall's strain is great, and who can not adore a womanlike reconstitute of 50 ways to leave your lover? we would give it 5 stars though a enclosed Fem2Fem, a terrible, terrible rope whose savvy masculine manager, strain author etc. has done homosexuality their categorical offered point.
