User Album Review
LEGACY! LEGACY! looks at Woods’ personal and familial history through the lens of cultural icons. Each track is named after one, some more recognizable than others (“BALDWIN”, “FRIDA”) but all of equal importance. These aren’t just superficial titles; Woods spent hours researching and studying the icons in order to accurately channel their influence. Instead of using the space to create an ode to them, Woods speaks from their perspective or creates a portrait of their being. In doing so, she explains the ways in which the influences have guided her and her family’s path.
LEGACY! LEGACY! pulls from and perfects bits from every corner of the Chicago music scene. “BETTY (for Boogie)” is an ode to the house music that originated in her city, and “MUDDY” is powered by blues riffs in the name of the legendary Muddy Waters. Woods embodies the cultural makeup of Chicago, tackles the multiplicity of identity, and balances her dominance with flawlessly selected features that build her up. It’s heavily researched — and should be studied by others: This record could be the basis for a college course or used as an actually accurate history book.
