music.wikisort.org - CompositionLove Wars is the 1983 debut album by musical duo Womack & Womack. The album, described by Chris Rizik of SoulTracks as "a critical favorite",[3] charted at number 34 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. In his review of the album, music critic Robert Christgau praised husband Cecil Womack and wife Linda Womack as "[a]ce singers and songwriters (as opposed to singer-songwriters)", noting that "their lyrics about loss and conflict are sharper than those about love and happiness".[4]
