Who Is This Bitch, Anyway?
Who Is This Bitch, Anyway? is an album by American vocalist Marlena Shaw recorded in 1974 and released on the Blue Note label.
Reception
The Allmusic review by Jason Ankeny awarded the album 4½ stars stating "A record as fierce and blunt as its title portends, Who Is This Bitch, Anyway? vaults Marlena Shaw into a brave new world of feminism and funk, updating the sophisticated soul-jazz approach of her previous records to explore a fast-changing musical, political, and sexual landscape... Not only Shaw's best-selling Blue Note release, Who Is This Bitch, Anyway? represents her creative apex as well".Track listing
