So WOMEN IN ROCK is wrapped up with Volume 7 (count ‘em) by Kostas this morning and inevitably I guess this last was going to be pretty radical he having covered pretty much everyone of more mainstream voices previously but nothing wrong with that. (It’s actually why I like Kostas’ choice as he has kept it well balanced despite some glaring omissions (what no Bonnie Raitt, Martha Wainwright? Lily Allen? I would obviously break the rock pattern mould and included more folk based English gals like Katherine Williams, Thea Gilmore and antipodeans like Emily Barker but maybe they don’t fit the category of ‘rock’ although Bonnie must for sure but that’s MY stuff) but we can all do that and it’s his list of over 300 lasses! If you don’t like this ‘cos it leaves someone out when make your own and tell us about it!
