CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com In 1999 the Signature Sounds label released a compilation of Boston-area female singer-songwriters entitled Respond to help raise money for RESPOND, inc. and the Family Violence Prevention Fund, two groups devoted to ending domestic violence. Respond II, the follow-up to that project, expands on the folk orientation of its predecessor by including rock, blues, gospel, jazz, country, and world music performers. Most of the tracks here--such as Suzanne Vega's "Luka," Bebel Gilberto's "Sem Contenção," and Dolly Parton's "Endless Stream of Tears"--are drawn from previously released CDs, but a handful, including Julie Miller's twangy "Too Many Troubles," Tracy Bonham's haunting "I'm No Giant," and the Indigo Girls' acoustic version of "She's Saving Me" appear here for the first time. The music on Respond II is eclectic, but the songs have been chosen with great care. By focusing on the heart of the music rather than just the genre, this compilation takes seemingly disparate elements like the brash punk rock of Sleater-Kinney, the lonesome country of Neko Case, and the soulful gospel sound of Sweet Honey in the Rock and weaves them into sonic pattern that is cohesive, complex, and altogether compelling. --Michael Simmons Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsRespond is the Answer SF Music Fan | SAN FRANCISCO, CA United States | 02/03/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "It's a hope-inducing collection of music, and sounds like the answer for an ailing world - including the world of music. Yes it is possible to be totally rockin' and still put a good message out there. (Sorry Eminem!) Respond II has become the soundtrack to my life. And it's a plus that all the money goes to an awesome cause, addressing domestic violence." A GREAT COMPILATION FOR A VERY WORTHY CAUSE S. Calhoun | Chicago, IL United States | 02/20/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "Because I am a big fan of RESPOND I was both anxious and excited to get RESPOND II after it was released. During many hours listening to both CDs on my commute to and from work each day I can say with confidence that it lives up to the brilliance of RESPOND. Unlike the first volume which focused exclusively on women singer-songwriters from Boston, this volume spans geographic boundaries to include both familiar and unfamiliar names in women's music. Some of the artists are well known (i.e., Indigo Girls, Ani DiFranco, Suzanne Vega, Sarah McLaughlin, etc.) while others are not. This greatly attributes to the advantage of this compilation; the opportunity to sample new artists. This phenomenon has benefited me. Perviously I have heard good things about Aimee Mann but have never personally heard any of her music (except for the music of 'Til Tuesday from the 1980's). After listening to RESPOND II I'm now a *big* fan of her song "Lost in Space" and even found myself repeatedly humming it's catchy tune throughout my work day. RESPOND II is a great compilation for a very worthy cause. All proceeds go towards their family violence prevention fund. If you're a fan of quality music by women, you might just enjoy this CD as much as I have."
