Still a Woman
"Still a Woman" was a song co-written and released as a single by American country artist Margo Smith. It was one of several top ten country hits Smith would enjoy during the late 1970s. The song was the first single released from her 1979 album entitled ''A Woman''. "Still a Woman" signified Smith's transition towards a sexually-charged persona. It has also been considered one of country music's first songs to characterize the point of view of a middle-aged woman.
== Content and reception ==
"Still a Woman" was co-written by Margo Smith, and also with Mack David and Norro Wilson. The latter was a frequent collaborator with Smith, who also helped pen her earlier singles such as "Take My Breath Away", "Love's Explosion", and "My Weakness".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.musicvf.com/Margo+Smith.art )〕 The song's plot describes a married woman who compares herself with a younger woman who has caught her husband's attention. "Still a Woman" was recorded at the Columbia Recording Studio in December 1978, located in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. The session was produced by Norro Wilson, who had been serving as Smith's producer since 1976.〔
"Still a Woman" has received mixed critical reception since its initial release. Greg Adams of Allmusic compared the song to Lou Reed's 1972 single "Walk on the Wild Side", stating that the "bass riff" was "oddly borrowed" from Reed's song. Kurt Wolff of ''Country Music: The Rough Guide'' called Smith's composition "lyrical boldness". Wolff continued to say, "Few singers spoke so unabashedly of attempting to reinvigorate love's fading fires, especially from a woman's perspective." Robert K. Oermann and A. Mary Bufwakck of ''Finding Her Voice: The History of Women in Country Music'' said the song represented, "a theme song" for middle-aged women during the late 1970s and early 1980s. They also compared Smith's musical representation to similar artists from the time period, including Dottie West.
