Wholly Earth - Abbey Lincoln

Abbey Sings Abbey - Abbey Lincoln

Advantages: Sweet, soulful,reflective,bluesy , insightful...everything a truly great album should be.
Disadvantages: None whatsoever!

My god this album is a real find! It's a wonder I ever lived without Abbey in my life before this album came along. Growing up as a fan of brilliant Female Black vocalists like Billy Holliday, Nina Simone, Tracy Chapman, Lauren Hill, Erykah Badu and Mary J...it amazes me that I never once heard of Abbey Lincoln. Her voice is smooth and soulfull and really does make you feel at ease. A certain depth and warmth to her voice that make you trust in what she says inately and in that you begin to realise the wisdom of her years. In her mid-seventies at the time of this recording, Lincoln lives life as a storyteller through song. This album takes a nostalgic look at some of her own compositions from past albums. Although he original style takes roots as a pre-eminent jazz singer, in this album she demonstrates an eclectic recipe ...

Review of Abbey Sings Abbey - Abbey Lincoln

Abbey National

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Robbers, none existing customer care, bad attitude and bad service.

Abbey National is the most difficult bank to deal with. Their customer care is very poor and they are even rated as one of the worst banks. When we decided to open another bank account we found Abbey to be the most conveniently placed. So my husband and I went to open a bank account with them. They seemed very nice and glad to have us as customers. The bank was very neat and tidy. I never realised that what would come later would put me off this bank for the rest of my life. The problems started when I found only £30 in my account yet there should have been more money in my account. Abbey had not informed me that we had gone over the overdraft or that indeed they were going to take any money out of my bank. So later that evening I phoned the bank to see if I could sort something out, it took about half an hour to get in ...

Review of Abbey

abbey fantstic

Advantages: great service provider
Disadvantages: none

Abbey are a fantastic bank that offer a lot of products under one roof. Abbey offer a wide range of bank accounts, they have a current account which i have with them where i have a visa debit card, a cheque book and an overdraft on the account of £1000 although i have never used the overdraft and havent used a cheque for ages, you can pay in most stores through chip and pin with your debit card and use it all over the world at cash machines so this for me is a great account. Abbey offers a specialised account for people aged 11 to 15 years which has a cash card for with drawals and has an interest payment of 6%pa but you do have to make a payment into the account once a month but there is no fixed amount you have to pay in so you could pay as little as £1, i think this is a great way of giving a teenager the chance to be ...
