...is one of the best Folk Music Collection CD's that I have ever experienced listening to.Judy has such a beautiful and Powerful voice across at lest four octaves.But trhough out she has absolute control over the power her voice give's. She sets the tone quality and the volume of her voice very evenly so when it comes to those really high notes of those really low notes the sound quality is very relaxed. As for the back-up, it is outstanding. All ...

Review of Shameless - Judy Collins

No body could do it better

Advantages: Excellent selections of songs, very refreshing
Disadvantages: The production part.

Before going on to comment on Judy Collins taking up Beatles a word or two about this great group. I have been a Beatles fan from my childhood, a sort of cult figure to me. I remember I sat quietly on the bed when I first heard “And I love her” and believe me from then on anything sung by Beatles had to be gotten by me at any cost. They, probably, are the person who had a terrific impact on the society not only for the quality of their songs but ...
...It’s always a risky business to take up songs already made famous by some one else and make the world listen to it again. What I strongly believe that few people will dare to redo numbers by Beatles, Judy Collins is not just a singer, she is herself a legend. To be honest it seems she has cracked the myth “I’m not getting younger”. Her voice seems to be improving with years, none of that silken touch has deserted her and as for every great singer ...

Review of Stronger - Carlene Carter

Rain and Fire in the Sky

Advantages: Killer title track, strong vocals, oustanding guitar and banjo playing
Disadvantages: The saccharine factor on a couple of tracks might leave a bitter aftertaste

There are two things that are guaranteed to evoke memories and they are music and smells. My father loved many types of music but what he was always drawn to was a man who could play a guitar while singing. Not an electric guitar however - for my father it had to be acoustic and if the performer could play 12 string then so much the better. So while he had LPs by Nat "King" Cole, Perry Como, The Seekers and Jerry Vale, the records he played the most ...
...Who is John Denver? Born in New Mexico in 1943 as Henry John Deutschendorf Jnr, Denver changed his name in honour of the state capital of Colorado - a place which inspired him creatively, emotionally and politically. Denver discovered the guitar at the age of 12 and from then he was destined to be a singer, songwriter and performer, and he cut his teeth on the folk circuit in the US, particularly on the east coast. His first success was as a ...
