It is evident from the opening song “Can’t Keep A Good Woman Down” (also the title of the CD), that this collection of songs is a reflection of Sista Monica Parker’s triumph over illness and adversity, a journey that has left her stronger in her faith, passion and dedication to her music. This is a wonderful CD, with most of the songs written by Sista Monica, arranged and produced by Sista Monica and Danny ‘B’ Beconcini (with the exception of tracks 3, 5, and 9, written by Willie Nelson, Monica Parker and Susan Boer and Sam Cooke respectively). In her liner notes Sista Monica acknowledges her recovery from cancer (Synovial Sarcoma, a rare and severe type of cancer which was diagnosed in 2002) and notes that a portion of the proceeds of this CD goes to Healing Journeys
