Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping out from her legendary role as one of Bob Marley's I-Threes, Judy Mowatt delivered a profoundly empowering and historically significant solo debut. Notably produced largely by Mowatt herself, 'Black Woman' is a deeply soulful, Rastafarian-focused roots reggae masterclass that firmly asserts female independence in a male-dominated industry. It is universally celebrated as one of the greatest reggae albums ever recorded by a female artist.
