About The Record:

Woman Love by Burton Cummings shifts toward a soft rock and adult contemporary sound with polished production that includes some dated synth elements reminiscent of the era alongside stronger ballad and bluesy moments. The album features standout tracks like the classic ballad One and Only, the rocking Had To Be You with notable lead guitar from Jeff Skunk Baxter, the bluesy title track Woman Love which Cummings himself cited as a favorite with outstanding fractured guitar work, and fan-streamed favorites such as Heavenly Blue. A unique aspect is its creation amid label tensions that prevented a US release despite strong Canadian performance, adding to its status as a platinum seller north of the border and contributing to Cummings earning another Juno Award that year. Fine State of Affairs became a popular single that gave him another Canadian hit. One and Only also charted as a single.
