Okay, so what's on this fabulous compilation?? Nat's talented daughter, Natalie, gives us a dose of real girl power in "Wild Woman Do"; Go West drum up the incredibly addictive "King of Wishful Thinking"; Jane Wiedlin and especially the amazing Lauren Wood are the consummate representatives of the...Read more
