Griffith--who first began performing in public in the late 1960s--did not achieve major Stateside success until 1994, when she won a Grammy forOther Voices, Other Rooms. Before this, throughout the 1980s, she had found her most receptive audience in the UK and especially Ireland, andWings To Fly...is a collection drawn from the albums recorded at that time:Storms,Lone Star State Of Mind,Little Love Affairs,Once In A Very Blue Moonand the live, endlessly charmingOne Fair Summer Evening. Tastefully compiled, the album features such Griffith classics as "Outbound Plane", "It's A Hard Life Wherever You Go" andher delicate but famously stirring cover of Julie Gold's "From A Distance", and is an undeniable testament to her strength as a songwriter. Inhabiting the wide-open terrain between Dolly Parton and Joni Mitchell, she is genuinely an artist of world class, and this is an excellent introduction.--Dominic Wills

Advantages: Beautiful songs, lot of variety Disadvantages: A couple of songs don't meet the standard of the rest
As a longtime fan of Nanci I rushed out and bought this CD on the day of release. Although I was a bit unsure of it at first, it's now one of my favourites.
The mood is varied from the opening title track, a sad lyric about life drifting by through to the closing cover of a "In the wee small hours" a song made famous by Frank Sinatra. Between these two there are songs about the Vietnam war, photographer Dickie Chapelle, Nanci's mother and my personal favourie, "Shaking Out the Snow". This slightly bizarre number sees Nanci employing an unusual vocal technique as she sings about her frozen heart. No-one listening to the rest of the album will really believe she's the cold character she portrays but it's still a great song.
All in all, NanciGriffith fans will have this CD already - if you haven't had the pleasure of hearing her ...
Advantages: Fantastic read, bite sized, gives an insight in to her life Disadvantages: None
This is an autobiography by Victoria Beckham which talks you through the early years of her life as well as the first years of her relationship with David Beckham and the birth of their first child, Brooklyn. It follows the success of the Spice Girls and the start of Victoria's solo career when she released an album of her own work and a single with Dane Bowers (from Another Level).
The book is supposed to show you the real Victoria Beckham and I really feel that this is the case. You learn all about her insecurities and her issues with eating and trusting people in her life as well as the truth about the kidnap plots again her & Brooklyn when he was first born and all the emotions that she felt because of this. It also talks about what it was like for her when she was growing up and knew that she wanted tobe a star but she really ...
Advantages: Entertaining Disadvantages: Deviates from the original, could have been better
In her hometown of River Heights, Nancy Drew is famous for being a sleuth; even the local police forced looks up to her, and it seems she can put no foot wrong. Then she moves away from home temporarily with her father, Carson Drew, who has been assigned a legal case in California and wants Nancyto concentrate on being a teenager rather than a sleuth. At her new school, Nancy is looked upon as a bit of a geek with obsessional tendencies. Luckily, she manages to rise above her tormentors, and she finds a new case. The house that the Drews are renting previously belonged to a famous actress, now deceased, but there has always been suspicion about her death and a possible inheritance.
