Yet another jewel in the Putumayo crown, Women of Spirit brings us an hour of soulfully respondent music from round the globe, made by women whose sound is full like lips, round like hips, and solid like bare feet on fertile earth. Women of Spirit is musky, sensuous, and womanly, at once wise and gloriously ripe. From the opening "Inexile," performed by Capercaille with Siberia, in which Karen Matheson's throaty alto wail soars round reeling Celtic fiddle, to the closing "A Song," featuring the mother-daughter African-American gospel blues harmony of Toshi Reagon and Bernice Johnson Reagon, Women of Spirit celebrates the stages not only of womanhood, but of the entire life cycle. Ani DiFranco's distinctively styled ringing guitar picking twined with her bust-loose vocals on the chorus of "Done Wrong" is deeply affecting. Cassandra Wilson shines on "Death Letter," and the exotic chant and slide of the French-Sudanese Groupe Oiywan makes staying still near impossible. This collection beckons one to embrace life, move to the rhythm, and find comfort in knowing that we are most powerful as a tribe. --Paige La Grone

AllMusic Review by Steve Huey
Women of Spirit is a collection spotlighting music from all over the world made by female artists, from the U.S. and British Isles to South America, Africa, and the Mediterranean. As such, it's musically incoherent, even schizophrenic, and the stylistic leaps can result in a jarring listen, but the all-over-the-map approach does make an intriguing case for the richness and diversity of women's voices in all the cultures of the world. Artists include Ani DiFranco, Capercaillie with Sibeba, Cassandra Wilson, Tarika, Susana Baca, Toshi Reagon and Bernice Johnson Reagon, Fortuna, Rasha, Sibongile Khumalo, Ima Galguen, Coco Mbassi, and Savina Yannatou.
