There's only so much of her huge catalog that can be represented by a single-disc collection, but within those constraints, TINA! does an excellent job of showing the eclectic Turner's various sides and sounds. There's a little bit of everything here, from her work with then-husband Ike (the sweaty, rock-inflected soul shouter "River Deep, Mountain High," the gritty, funky "Nutbush City Limits") to her '80s days as a purveyor of sleek, sexy pop (the ubiquitous, slinky "What's Love Got to Do With It," the elegant "Private Dancer"). Along the way there are some live cuts that demonstrate Turner's skill at working up a crowd, and for the faithful who've already got all the old stuff, there are a couple of brand-new tracks. The new songs, "It Would Be a Crime" and "I'm Ready," sound utterly contemporary, but they still preserve that soulful fire.

Tina for beginners but... AGAIN???

Created: 22/10/08
Tina! is a single disc collection that tries to highlight Tina Turner through her 6 decades of making great music. While the collection doesn't really offer much worth while to hard core fans, but fairs as a simple reintroduction to her music to a new generation.

The collection also includes 2 new tracks, both penned by Pat Monahan of the rock band Train and Robbie Williams' longtime producer Guy Chambers, which shows her voice undiminished in 2008. "It Would Be a Crime" scoots by with an inescapably catchy techno-beat, while "I'm Ready" is a more programmatic rocker hamstrung somewhat by the overly repetitive chorus.

Not only that, but the collection overshadow music from Tina's last 2 albums, 2000's Twenty-Four Seven and 1996's Wildest Dreams. So, die hard fans might feel a bit dissapointed that great songs like "Missing You", "When The Heartache Is Over" and "Whatever You Want" aren't here.

However everybody wants to know how many compilations does EMI and Roger Davies Management expect us to buy? How many times more do we have to see "What's Love got to do with it?" released on CD after (until now) appears on 8 Capitol Records releases?

All in all, Tina! isn't a bad collection for anyone who hasn't yet heard a great Tina Turner song, but doesn't stand out to be completely as definitive to hard core fans, as was the case with 2005's All The Best (double album edition). If you are new to Tina's music, this is a welcomed sampler that fairs well to your CD library and your MP3 Player.
