The unabashed legendary Queen of Rock and Roll, Tina Turner is back and offers up a greatest hits package simply entitled, Tina. “Steamy Windows” opens up this compilation with a rocking guitar lick and funk-filled bass lines accented with crashing drums and lazer-like keyboards as Ms. Turner wails away on the microphone with that famous raspy lyric jamming hard. “River Deep, Mountain High” was taken from her days early in her career as you can tell this from the late-‘50s to early-‘60s with the big band horns, stringed accompaniments and doo-wop arrangements as you can see the wall of sound was used here.

She pulls out of the closet her offering from The Who’s famous rock opera, Tommy with “The Acid Queen” as it’s a classic R&B cut mixed with rock and funk as she belts away at the vocals with harsh licks and greasy rhythms giving us something psychedelic and sexy. Next up was her masterpiece from the early ‘80s, “What’s Love Got To Do With It” as it’s such a grabbing track as it pulls at you with the down-tempo modes, shades of clarinet, lulled guitars and her sultry voice crying out to the sky in pain and emancipation.

She adds another heart-wrenching ballad to the set list as “Private Dancer” comes out at you first in a chilled atmosphere in an adult contemporary mood until she raises the beats and brings it up to a beautifully stark story of the seedy side of life. “We Don’t Need Another Hero” was taken from her stint in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome as it’s so cool and intense in its formula. She offers some live performances on here as well such as, “Let’s Stay Together” covering the classic Al Green hit with fans clapping in the background and using the acoustics of the arena to her benefit honoring this song’s loveliness and groove.

Yet another live cover is put on this release as she gave us an interesting version of Robert Palmer’s “Addicted To Love” as she kept the rock and roll swagger and put a few changes to the quality of this song. “The Best” was up and this chart-topper was wild and offered up tons of soulful harmony and tearful vocals as it was an inspiring and warm cut that still stands the test of time. “Proud Mary” was up and this one was slightly different that the original she did with Ike as this was from 1993, but was not so odd and kept the strength and showmanship. This disc ends with a new track from Turner as “It Would Be A Crime” brings some synthesized instruments and organic moods as her awesomely powerful vocals scream out to the rooftop. Tina Turner gave us an excellent hits album on Tina and we hope to hear more new material from this diva.
