Editorial Review:
A document of the 1998 tour, Lilith Fair: A Celebration of Women in Music, Vol. 3 is thus far the most lively and affecting recording of Sarah McLachlan's summer festival. From the percussive chop-socky blues of Emmylou Harris's "Deeper Well" to Holly Cole's richly intoned "Onion Girl" to Sixpence None the Richer's quirky take on the pop hit "Kiss Me" to Rebekah's sparsely searing "Little Black Girl," the women presented here are fierce, fiery, and fabulously fruitful. Included also are Suzanne Vega's late-'80s signature song, "Luka," the Indigo Girls' banjo porch rocker "Get Out the Map," and N'dea Davenport's sultry-smooth "Underneath a Red Moon." While some notable '98 participants lack representation here (where are Paula Cole, Missy Elliot, and Lucinda Williams?), this volume is a proud achievement of fine production and optimal sequencing, and the performances are of greater diversity than offered previously. --Paige La Grone

Lilith Fair, A Celebration of Women in Music (Vol 3) Reviews:
Can't wait for Lilith Fair 2010
2009-12-13 - Unless you've been living under a rock, any Lilith Fair fan by now has heard the news that after an 11 year lay-off, Lilith Fair is returning next summer. Long, long overdue in my book. I was browsing through my CD collection the other day and fell upon this collection, which I hadn't listened to in years, so I immediately had to listen to it.

"Lilith Fair: A Celebration of Women in Music - Volume 3" (14 tracks; 61 min.) is one of two seperate volums released in 1999 from the 1998 Lilith Fair summer tour. The highlights on this collection are many: Luscious Jackson's boisterous "Naked Eye", Liz Phair's biting "Never Said", Sixpence None the Richer's gentle but irresistable "Kiss Me", Suzanne Vega's sweet "Luka", and Sarah Mclachlan's "Black and White", just to name those. But THE stand-out track on here is from K's Choice, a Belgian band with Sarah Bettens on vocals, bringing here a superb version of their breakout "Not An Addict", wow, it takes my breath away listening to it again after all these years. Also special mention for Emmylou Harris' "Deep Well", an epic track with superb guitar playing. Incidentally, Lilith Fair Volume 3 is by far the better collection, when compared to Volume 2.

I attended all three festivals (1997-1999), and took my then 8 year old daughter to the 1998 festival at Riverbend here in Cincinnati, what a fabulous and fun experience that was (her first 'real' concert ever). I personally cannot wait for the return of Lilith Fair in 2010. Sarah Mclachlan will of course headline, but other names already announced are very intruiging and appealing as well, such as Metric, Tegan & Sara, and Chairlift, just to name those. Meanwhile, "Volume 3" is a nice memento from the 1998 festival and a great coellction/celebration of "women in music".

Lilith Ladies do not Dissapoint
2005-07-21 - While all of the songs on this record are outstanding and fun to hear live, Liz Phair's "Never Said" is a radio classic. Her first real recognition came from this song which helped make her an indie princess. An awesome buy.

Better than the first!
2001-01-13 - I got this CD last night and have listened to it 6 times since, it is that good!!!! Luka is a depressingly excellent song, and Get Out The Map is cute and country-ish. It is so ecclectic and broad. My favorite songs are probably Luka, Get Out the Map, Naked Eye, and Never Said. If you are a fan of female music, buy this, you won't be dissapointed!

Sixpence makes this CD none the richer
2000-03-22 - Holly and Sarah are great. Many of the artists are edgy and mature. But "Kiss Me" by Sixpence is an example of the sappy shallowness that this CD gets stuck in. Two stars is generous. Reissue this without the Sixpence track.

McLachlan & Cole save this CD-, however, sonically it sucks
1999-10-11 - I demand some reasonable effort by producers to do a decent job of recording music, and ARISTA seems, in general, to be subpar on most of their releases. However, this seems to be worse than their average. While they can blame it on this being a live album -- it's a poor excuse. If you have any audiophile tendencies, don't buy this CD -- although the music is reasonably good, the shabby job of recording/transferring to CD format will leave you disappointed and wanting your money back.
