Brian May & Woman Release The Track ‘I’m A Woman’ For Cancer Charities
Written by Johnson Stephen on October 23, 2020
Queen legend Brian May has confirmed the release of what he calls a ‘kick ass’ track’; one he has produced and that’s performed by sensational singers WOMAN and accompanied by May’s guitar. The WOMAN supergroup features four of Rock musical theatre’s most powerful female voices and ‘We Will Rock You’ alumni – Mazz Murray, Kerry Ellis, Gina Murray and Anna-Jane Casey.
Together May and WOMAN have created a storming Blues Rock version of famed songwriter duo Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller’s classic 1962 ‘I’m A Woman, originally made famous by Peggy Lee.
This special 2020 cover on which May performs as well as producing, is released in Breast Cancer Awareness Month to support the work of two leading women’s cancer charities – Target Ovarian Cancer and The Caron Keating Foundation, the latter being the family run cancer charity in memory of the much loved TV personality that was established by her mother Gloria Hunniford and Caron’s two brothers.

Brian May says this about the project ”This recording was conceived as a response to a calling to promote this great cause for women’s health. But it evolved into a magnificently raunchy and defiant Rock track in its own right. These four ladies all Rock out sensationally, and it was pure joy to underpin their performances with my Guitar. I actually stole that down-and-dirty riff from ‘I’m a Man’ so I would claim this arrangement kicks more ass than all previous !! Woman Rocks !!!.”
