Daughter of a Thousand Years

Fourteen centuries before Cleopatra, queen Hatshepsut became one of the few women to rule Egypt. Artworks at the time portrayed her with masculine muscles and a Pharaonic beard, but these icons were smashed to smithereens in Hatshepsut's burial chamber. Clearly she upset the male hierarchy back then. Three and a half thousand years later, this fourth album from Norwegian artist Hanna Paulsberg is dedicated to Hatshepsut and all women who fight for recognition.

Amazon Review by For Tomorrow
Another great compilation from Rhino, this two-disc set contains some of the best acoustic music from some of the biggest artists out there, plenty of my favourites are represented with a track, but there were also a handful that were still new to me. That's the joy of compilations for me, you are able to discover a lot of talent through buying them.
It's a nice mix of old and new, with alternative versions used when needed, for example the acoustic versions of Bruno Mars' 'Grenade', James Blunt's '1973', 'Smile' by Lily Allen, the iTunes session of Lykke Li's 'I Follow Rivers', and a great live & acoustic performance from Scotland's finest young crooner Paolo Nutini on 'Last Request'.
This is a very appealing playlist of acoustic music. The only downside was that when I went to burn the CDs onto my laptop, the song titles and artist names couldn't be found, so I had to write them in myself. Well, copy and paste from this Amazon page, but still tedious and time consuming all the same.
