I am pleased to say that i really like it. Her voice as always in superb. It amazes me that she manages to hit such low notes. I can't! I particulalry like the way she uses her voice on We Your Dearest Friends. |I was disappointed at first with this cd. It just was not what I was expecting. Not at all. However, once I got over my prejudice, it really began to sink in. I even found the melodies going around in my head when I wasn't listeneing. Lyrically, it is excellent too. So obvious she has gone deep within for this one. An honest and gutwrenching work is the result. The compositions are different musically to what i have come to expect. Unless I am mistaken, there is no piano to be heard anywhere. Also, the structure is diffetrent. Longer lyrcis, little in the way of chorus. You know, the woman is now in well into her 50's, has just had a mastectomy. Of course her work is going to be diffrent! Life is ot the same for her now. Things have changed-drastically. Grief and hitiing death in the face wakes one up and changes everything. I think this is what TBT reflects. I am glad she did this work. I enjoy it very much. Yes it is different but diffrent doies not equal boring, bad or ideiffetrent. I read on review where it was staetd by the reviewer that there was no melody anywhere to be found!!! He obviouly did not listen to it! ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 18 Jun 2000 13:21:00 EDT From: B4INSF@aol.com Subject: carly explains the songs on TBT Click on this link to read an interview that Carly gave where she talks about each song from TBT Amazon.co.uk: A Sound Recovery or copy and past this url-------> http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/tg/feature/-/48484/026-1957891-7017251 bill ------------------------------ End of hotcakes-digest V3 #19 *****************************
