Excerpts from Black Woman Review

 

by Wilson McCloy in AllMusic.com

  

Black Woman marked an early opportunity for Sharrock's own voice to be heard; he composed all the songs except "Bialero" and personally chose the band to reflect his own interests. The music is full of Sharrock's skittering, trademark clusters of notes and remains at a consistently high-intensity level with Linda Sharrock (vocalizations ala Yoko Ono), Milford Graves on drums, and Teddy Daniel on trumpet. At times the music reaches for the sublime as on "Peanut" with its mandolin-like, vibrato theme and otherworldly improvisations; The beauteous "Bialero" with piano and bass figures oscillating around Linda's lilting yet unpredictable voice and "Portrait of Linda in Three Colors, All Black" are Sonny Sharrock in glory. While this album is not for everyone, even Sonny Sharrock fans may find the music beyond their wildest expectations!
