The 14th compilation album by The Specialized charity project is a vibrant celebration of legendary female songwriters, reimagined through the energetic and rhythmic lens of Ska. Featuring exclusive tracks by Ska bands from around the globe, the album unites international talent to honour the groundbreaking contributions of iconic women in music history. With each band lending its unique style and interpretation, the album pays homage to diverse eras and genres, from folk and rock to soul and pop, highlighting the creative legacy of female artists who have shaped music over the years. Proceeds from this album support important charitable causes, making it not only a tribute but a meaningful contribution to social good." Amongst those being paid tribute to on the CD is the legendary Suzi Quatro. Today in West London's Eastcote Studios I was lucky enough to witness The Spammed featuring Hannah Hu record a wonderful new version of 'Devil Gate Drive' (originally a Number One hit for Suzi Quatro in 1974). In the producers chair was Chris Kimsey who has engineered and produced many classic albums including Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones.
