Love You Like a Woman

AMG Review of Love You Like a Woman

Bruce Eder
All Music Guide

Twenty-one songs by Koko Taylor, produced and mostly written by Willie Dixon between 1964 and 1969, with Lafayette Leake, Buddy Guy, Robert Nighthawk (on some of the earliest tracks), Johnny Shines, Clifton James, Walter Horton, and Dixon backing her up. The songs run the gamut from blues standards in the making ("Wang Dang Doodle") to topical subjects ("Separate or Integrate"), with Taylor in great voice throughout. Worth the price just for "I Love a Lover Like You." The notes are minimal, but it's difficult to argue about the sound quality or the content.
