Volume 20 Introduction
Posted on | August 25, 2010 | No Comments
Volume 20, like Volume 10 before it, will focus on women in music. In fact, women being under the spotlight every 10 Volumes will be a tradition on this site going forward.
That said, this introduction will be relatively short. (The Vol. 10 introduction, I think, is pretty encompassing and there isn’t a whole lot else to add.) Compared to Vol. 10, though, this Volume will feature songs that run a wider gamut: everything from a couple of Phil Spector-produced songs (one of which is probably the most surreal song that’s been written in the last 50 years) to a few modern electronic and dance songs to a couple of live songs (one featuring a band with a full-bodied performance, the other a solo performance with only a piano and no live audience) to a song whose noise practically drowns out the vocals.
Finally, the same “rules” apply from Vol. 10: all of these songs feature women singing lead vocals, and all of these songs are ones that could really only be sung by a woman (no offense to any of the guys).
