The all-female Irish-American ensemble, on their second release for the Rounder label, have fashioned an uncluttered, forward-looking yet tradition-based and unabashedly sentimental set. Recorded between Scotland, where producer Phil Cunningham resides, and the United States, with guest stints from Irish accordionist Sharon Shannon, British folk star Kate Rusby and Karen Matheson of the Scottish supergroup Capercaille, this may well be their personal best to date. Bandleader Joanie Madden's dulcet tone and precise yet lyrical phrasing on various flutes and whistles remain world-class and are clearly still evolving; very few players can remotely approach her degree of virtuosity. Sweet Thames Flow Softly, one of Ewan MacColl's most wistful love songs, is given an especially lovely interpretation. Fronted by lead singer Heidi Talbot's bittersweet vocal, it is youth-recollected-from-age personified. Of course, as so much Irish music is meant for dancing, there are several medleys of lively jigs and reels, performed with the unflagging rhythmic brio and melodic dispatch CTL fans have come to expect. And any crusty misogynist laboring under the delusion that no gathering of ladies could ever rock HIS house is in for an abrupt change of life! --Christina RodenAlbum Description
Cherish the Ladies is one of the finest ensembles of Celtic musicians on either side of the Atlantic. The American-based group, winner of the Glasgow Celtic Connections Festival's "International Group of the Year" award, recorded Woman of the House in Scotland with many of their talented friends from the festival including Kate Rusby, Sharon Shannon, Eddi Reader, Karen Matheson, Liz Kane and Laoise Kelly. The resulting combination of reels, jigs and heart-rending ballads is a glorious celebration of a thriving musical tradition.Customer Reviews:

David Cassidy At His Best..........2007-01-18
With the great song writers of that time including Adam Miller his voice is challenged and he replies with some beautiful songs and hitting high notes perfectly.When you listen to him sing these songs on this albulm you realise the great voice he had and why he became the big star...This guy can really sing and had the perfect ingredient of that time with the most prolific song writers I believe of the century.
David Cassidy is an actor and singer and sings these songs with the feeling and emotions they deserve...These songs were made for him on this albulm and I doubt any other performer would be able to deliver these songs in the way he does with the same feeling and emotion..A trademark Cassidy albulm with beautiful songs of a special era...All the songs are beautiful with his star quality that made him a superstar..I especially love BLIND HOPE....Adam Miller...Listen to how beautiful David sings this song with so much emotion and feeling...The whole albulm is truly beautiful...One of his first and best and must for Cassidy fans.

Amazon.com
Fire up the nostalgia machine for the soundtrack to Cherish, an album filled with the type of gooey, fuzzy songs populating light rock stations now, but high school slow dances in the past. 10CC's "I'm Not in Love" sighs like a seashore, all gauzy synths and primitive computerized harmonies, while the title cut by the Association rings with soft bells and summery, melodic mellowness. Daryl Hall and John Oates's mega-'80s-sounding hit "Private Eyes" is a guilty, sing-along pleasure, and the Impressions' "Get Up and Move" jives with big horns and soul. New wave synth chic even checks in, with the Human League's droll "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" and Modern English's romantic "I Melt with You." The only newer tracks are courtesy of Noe Venable--and even then, "Breakdown" is her fragile, haunting cover of the Tom Petty song. The mix on Cherish is definitely low-key, if a little heavy on sappiness. Yet its diversity, charmingly, works well. While certainly jumping decades with impunity, Cherish's high quality hits mesh nicely--creating a sweet, fluffy compilation CD of love songs covering all shapes and styles. --Annie ZaleskiCustomer Reviews:
CHERISH CD SOUNDTRACK .......2007-04-01
Underrated Movie, underrated Soundtrack.......2006-12-17
To appreciate the soundtrack, one must understand the movie's plot. Zoe Adler (played by Robin Tunney) is someone who is basically socially inept and somewhat of an introvert. Zoe struggles with her lack of social skills both in the office and in the social scene as well. She is also romanticist who loves 1970s and 1980s music and gets immersed in the songs of that era. Unknown to Zoe, she is being pursued and followed by a stalker (played by Brad Hunt) Zoe's life will change when the stalker finds Zoe going to her car to pick up her cell phone. The stalker takes Zoe hostage and forces her to drive - running down a police officer Following the incident, the stalker leaves the scene and Zoe is left facing a homicide charge. While awaiting her trial, her lawyer arranges for Zoe to be put in the "Bracelet Program". This is a program that essentially places Zoe under house arrest and uses a bracelet to electronically track that Zoe stays indeed under house arrest. The movie focuses on Zoe's attempts to deal with her house arrest while attempting to prove her innocence. At the same time, there is focus on Zoe's relationship with the police officer Bill Daly from the bracelet program (played by Tim Blake Nelson), who also suffers from social ineptness.
Much of the credit for assembling the soundtrack has to go to Paul Broucek, who was in charge of music for this film. Much of the theme of the movie deals with obsessions - and many of the songs reflect this theme. The theme of music is very nicely woven into Zoe's character as well (she is a big music fan). There are fourteen tracks on the collection, unfortunately they are not ordered as in the movie:
"She's Gone" by Daryl Hall and John Oates
"Tainted Love" by Soft Cell
"Breakdown" by Noe Venable
"I Melt With You" by Modern English
"Private Eyes" by Modern English
"I'm Not in Love" by 10CC
"Cherish" by The Association
"Happy Together" by The Turtles
"(Keep Feeling) Fascination"
"Down Easy" by Noe Venable Trio
"Alone Remix" by Mark De Gli Antoni
"Get Up an Move" by The Impressions
"While I'm Alone" by Maze (Featuring Frankie Beverly)
"I Love You" by Climax Blues Band
Some of the classic songs on here are really going to grip you. When "Tainted Love" is played during the homicide and later in the movie, it gave me a whole new perspective on that song. Before this movie, "Tainted Love" was just another overplayed song by a one-hit wonder (Soft Cell). After hearing it in the movie, it gives a much more haunting feel when listening to it, resulting in a whole new appreciation for a song that I never cared for in the past.
The Hall and Oates tunes are well positioned in the movie too. "She's Gone" is played when the stalker realizes he can no longer find Zoe (who is under house arrest). "Private Eyes" is played when Zoe calls her own cell phone and the stalker realizes it is Zoe, so he plays that song to indicate "Private Eyes - they're watching you". Again, these are old songs, but given a whole new appreciation when put into the context of this film.
Perhaps the best use of music is saved for the end. Climax Blues Band's "I Love You" is beautifully woven into the movie's final scene. In that final scene, we find Zoe and Daly reflecting on the relationship that they had established. This is a very gripping and powerful song to begin with, but when put into the finale of the movie, it is that much stronger.
Like many soundtracks, "Cherish" does not include every song or piece of music that is in the movie. In particular there are some glaring omissions such as Terry Jacks' "Seasons in the Sun", Human League's "Don't You Want Me?" (although another Human League song, "Fascination" is included on the soundtrack), and America's "Sister Golden Hair". Other notable omissions include Togetherness' "I Bet You Never Knew That I Followed You", the Style Council's "You're the Best Thing", and the Flamingos "I Only Have Eyes for You". These songs would have been nice to be on the soundtrack - and all of them fit nicely into the theme of the movie.
One other omission revolves around "Breakdown". In the movie, the classic Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song is included (and woven very nicely into a scene where the Stalker has a "melt down"). However on the soundtrack a cover is included by local San Francisco music star, Noe Venable. Venable's music has a small role in the movie and Venable also has another song included on the soundtrack ("Down Easy"). Venable puts a haunting, folksy spin on "Breakdown".
One final note, Mark De Gli Antoni provides much of the instrumental score of this film and I wish that more was included on the soundtrack. Still, this is a very good collection of music. Not only do I recommend the movie, but I also recommend this collection.

Cherish, So How Many People Are in the Group? (3.5 Stars).......2006-12-26
So, when I got this album, I expected a ton of crappy dance songs and a few placings of excellent R&B songs. I have ot say, that is somewhat correct. Yes, there are plenty of good R&B songs on this CD that make it well worth the purchase, but there are a few good choice club songs (no, not "Do It To It"). Overall, this is really not a bad album. There are a few sprinkled in rushed songs or songs that are completely wack, but the good outbalances the bad. Cherish have (or more like has) good vocals, and productions by Jazze Pha and Don Vito add to that. For example, "That Boi" has a catchy beat and is really enjoyable. Jazze Pha proves once again he can produce a fun R&R (rhythm and rap) beat simply. Cherish does sound good on the track as well. Lyrics do flatter a bit and the mispelling of boi is annoying, but it is a great song that you can jam to.
To showecase some vocals, look up "Unappreciated", a snap-shot of today's more ballad R&B. Cherish proves that they can indeed sing, and do have good voices. Also, the writing pays off in this track ("Lately it ain't been the same at all/When you're here it's like I'm invisible/I still can't seem to see where I went wrong"). "Ooh" is sweet, sensual, smooth, and slightly sexy R&B song, even slower than "Unappreciated". Although not as vocally strong as "Unappreciated", it does have a good vibe to it and the girls pull this one off grand. The group's third single, "Show and Tell", is similar to "Oooh", but a bit more hard hitting and more put together, which reminds me a bit of Ciara's "Promise". It is catchiness at best and one of the album's best tracks, even though the lyrics are cheap. For a good party song, "Chick Like Me" is a bump-in-the-truck hip-hop song that lacks creative writing but has a catchy and well designed production that will likely be a radio single. But for the best song on the album, "Whenever" is a killer song and an album favorite. The production while simple is soft and piano heavy and the girls vocals preform best here. "Moment in Time" is a soft-ballad, while not fantastic, showcases the group's vocals in near acapella.
While there are some good moments on here, there are a couple bombs. "Chevy" is pretty lame, the production could not turn anyone on and the lyrics are laughable (taste my paint?). Also the vocals seem to be too unbalanced and the members don't harmonize, but even Destiny's Child couldn't make this sound good. "Taken" is generic pop-n-B that doesn't really go any further than decent voices, while "Stop Calling Me" is too cheesy and sounds like the production was taken from Ciara's "Thug Style". "Fool 4 You" has potential, I just think it needs a bit of polishing. The production has a cool 90s vibe to it but it seems a bit rushed. Also vocals here aren't even close to the best on the disc.
Overall, not a bad album, actually quite a shocker. Although not an excellent or even stellar album, it is a good album worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of the first two singles. For a lot of lyrics screw-ups I have to take off a star, and take off another half for occassional bad produced songs, but otherwise a mostly solid disc of today's R&B and hip-hop. 3.5 stars.

Irish music is particularly rich in songs relating to the celebration of Christmas. Cherish The Ladies, an all-female band made up of Irish-born and first generation Irish-American performers, has mined the purest gold for this delightful set. The 10 tracks are given sensitive yet robust acoustic treatments by a consort of top-notch players. Bandleader Joanie Madden's mastery of tin whistle, low whistle and flute has taken her all over the globe and onto dozens of albums. Lead singer Heidi Talbot's husky-sweet tone is further graced by refreshingly uncluttered phrasing. Mary Coogan's intricate plucked strings, Mirella Murray's lively yet mellow squeezebox, Donna Long's Cape-Breton-inflected piano and Marie Reilly¹s propulsive fiddle are all remarkable but each nonetheless meshes into a tightly arranged, flawless whole. The program evokes nostalgia for joyous childhood holidays long past but also reflects the wistful prayer for peace that a modern celebrant might offer up in difficult times. --Christina RodenAlbum Description
The critically acclaimed women's ensemble Cherish the Ladies extends its theme of traditional Irish music to the holidays. On Christmas Night features traditional Irish melodies and carols like "The Holly and the Berry" and "The Wexford Carol" interspersed with well-known Christmas carols, including "O Come All Ye Faithful," "What Child Is This," "The Little Drummer Boy," "We Three Kings," "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," "Angels We Have Heard on High," "Silent Night," and "The First Noel." All of the arrangements are brought forth with a new freshness by the use of the group's unique Celtic instrumentation (penny whistles, fiddles, accordion, concertina, piano, guitar, mandolin, banjo, flutes) and beautiful harmonies, and then heightened by the inclusion of world-class Irish stepdancing.Customer Reviews:
Christmas Carols injected by the Celts.......2007-01-10
Christmas in Ireland.......2005-12-10
The arrangements of the holiday music are similar to their other recordings. Some of the music is grouped in medleys while others are stand alone works. The arrangements vary in content. Some contain vocals while others are instrumental, and as always, the familiar is blended with the lesser known which creates a great listening experience.
Ireland may not be known for its rich treasury of Christmas music. There is the "Wexford Carol" and "Christmas in Killarney" but while risking blaspheming the name of Bing Crosby, I'm not sure the latter can be considered immortal. This recording demonstrates how Christmas music is truly at home in Irish music and listening to it can almost transport a person to a pub in Ireland during the Christmas season, enjoying the company of friends and quenching thirst with a pint of Guinness. I suppose I sound like one of the "all of the folks at home" mentioned in the song "Christmas in Killarney," but the music of Cherish the Ladies can transport me back to Ireland and this collection can give the listener a feeling of Christmas in Ireland.
Beauty deep and rare.......2005-12-06
The soulful beauty of Celtic music melding with rich and sweet Christmas tunes...the amazingness of Cherish the Ladies as a band and Heidi Talbot's clear, deep, soothing voice...ahhh, its so perfect.
This has quickly become one of my favorite Christmas CD's, but it is of such quality that no doubt I'll find myself listening to it during the rest of the year as well.
A wonderful alternative to "traditional" Christmas music.......2005-12-04
If you want something different that will still appeal to the traditionalists (we all have a few of those in our families), look no further. This is not only a top-notch Christmas album, but generally a top-notch Celtic album as well. Cherish the Ladies is undoubtedly one of the finest Irish groups in the world, not to mention one of the finest all-female groups! This album is a great collection of classic Christmas tunes, some common, some obscure, that will make for such a nice change come this holiday season.

Cherish the Ladies are primarily known for their instrumental skills--nearly every member is a contest-winning musician--so it might come as a bit of a surprise that on The Girls Won't Leave the Boys Alone, 10 of the 13 tracks are songs. But the assured way with which the band delivers its sweet harmonies on the opening track ("The Broom of Cowdenknowes") proves the Ladies can sing as well as they can play their fiddles, flutes, and accordions. They've invited a host of guest artists to perform with them, including folk singers Luka Bloom, Tom Chapin, Arlo Guthrie, and Pete Seeger; instrumentalists fiddler Brendan Mulvihill, banjo picker Eric Weisberg, and Chieftains member and flautist Matt Molloy; and the legendary Irish balladeers the Clancy Brothers. In a particularly moving gesture, the six band members pay tribute to their families by playing a lovely version of "The Queen of Connemara" accompanied by their fathers and brothers. The Girls Won't Leave the Boys Alone is a departure from Cherish the Ladies' previous dance-tune-based recordings, but the quality of the singing is so good that you don't miss the jigs and reels. --Michael SimmonsCustomer Reviews:

This CD is a lovely collaborative effort with the Ladies and their friends, and it's entertaining and crisp from start to finish. From sentimental love songs like Bonny Blue-Eyed Nancy, to the tongue in cheek wit of The Mad Puck Goat, it's one of those experiences you have when you just feel lucky to be along for the ride. And hats off to their rendition of Down by the Glenside with Paddy Reilly. He really is one of the best ballad singers out there and he's a treat on this cut.

Just Good Music.......2002-11-16
One thing I can say is that I have heard neo-Irish and Celtic groups who, in my opinion, completely ruin the music. They add all these strange electronic effects, and mix the ancient music with a few too many electric guitars and such. Cherish the Ladies is not a group in that category. They understand traditional music, and how to use modern instruments to enhance it rather than destroying it.
It's just good music.
Heart- pounding Irish dance and heart-tugging ballads.......2002-08-28
First, the alternating enervating dance numbers with tender ballads gives the album a great balance. The fact that one of the ballads, "The Waves of Kilkee", is strictly and beautifully instrumental just adds the variety of this CD.
And then, there are a couple of welcome surprises here. One is a touching rendition of Dan Fogelberg's "The Leader Of The Band", dedicated to their fathers. Fogelberg's song is enhanced by the weaving of a traditional reel, "Devaney's Goat", with the main melody.
The set of dances that follows is a Father's Day Medley that starts with a hornpiipe played by banjo and accordian, the same combination of instruments playing the following reel. Third part of the medley, "Drag Her 'round the Road", features Paddy Rafferty's authentic traditional lilting. The medley ends with "Bag of Spuds, featuring some step dancing.
This medley is followed by another welcome surprise,the song "John of Dreams", borrowed first from a Southern Italian lullaby and then used as a principal theme in Tchaikovsky's Symphony No. 6.
These, cuts 6,7,8,& 9, form the heart of the album, but the energizing jigs and reels and the exquisite ballads as sung by Aoife Clancy that surround this "heart" set off the whole collection perfectly.
Highly recommended for all lovers of Irish and Celtic music.

Like It? Get the History!.......2005-09-07
This is of course a classic track and one of Madonna's best. One of its charms is that it is inspired by an older '60s tune by The Association, also called "Cherish." Madonna uses some of the words and the same notes from that song ("Cherish is the word I use to describe....", which was the key phrase from that '60s tune). But Madonna doesn't rip the Association off, rather she builds her own distinctive tune, but one clearly inspired by, and meant to be connected with, the earlier song by the Association. For people who really love this Madonna tune and want to appreciate it from a new perspective, pick up the Association's "Cherish" and compare the two. You will get a new appreciation of the genius of Madonna, one of the top two or three pop songwriters of the second half of the 20th century.

A Cd To Cherish.......2004-11-02
1. Cherish (Extended Version): A pretty decent remix of this classic tune, not much differnt from the orginal just longer.
2. Cherish (7"Mix/Edit): The radio version, that appeared on The Immacualte Collection.
3. Supernatural: An unreleased B-Side. This song is truly wonderful. This ranks as one of Madonna's best B-sides. The cd is worth the money for this song.
