CD Reviews

Almost excellent!

"This Ruth Copeland collection is a good one with excellent remastering for stereo. All of the songs are here except "Madam Butterfly". Why they left it out is a complete mystery to me. That is the main reason I could only give this cd 4 stars."

Not a bad idea, but...

"Ruth Copeland was in an early incarnation of Parlement, and in turn, Funkadelic backed her up on a lot of her solo work, on this set.

This sounds good, but a lot of these tracks are ballads which are just not that interesting--well played, but way under Clinton and company's capabilities. Other tracks rock hard, but Copeland's voice is not strong, and it sounds like she is reaching way beyond HER capabilities. On one hard funk number, Copeland fakes an orgasam and, and even this falls flat.

She is earnest and her efforts genuine, but her music just doesn't work"

"I was so happy to come across this CD. I have all three of Ruth's early albums, even have a 45. Particularly relevant in today's political climate is "The Medal" - touches my heart. I also love "Crying". Her voice speaks to me with such soul. Very talented and underrated artist."
