5 out of 5 stars Powerhouse Vocals and plenty of Soul too !.......2006-10-15

Having seen Labelle in concert a few times and owning most of these titles on LP AND CD. I can tell you ,they were a musical force to be reckoned with. To this day, I have yet to find a "soul" female vocal trio that can stand up to these powerhouse ladies.
Nightbirds has the signature tune "Lady Marmalade",but also offers up many more outright soul-satisfying funk tunes such as "What Can I Do For You?"( a personal favorite),"Are you lonely" and "Somebody Somewhere"
Labelle also backs up Laura Nyro on "Gonna Take a Miracle " - check it out !

5 out of 5 stars Labelle (Nightbirds).......2006-05-28

Of the many female vocal groups I've heard over the years in any category, Pop, R&B, Gospel etc. None in my opinion could out sing this group. Patti, Nona, and Sarah Known as Labelle, All strong vocalist and even stronger as a group. This CD display's their strong tight harmony and blended voices with excellent music arrangement's and Production. A classic R&B CD.

5 out of 5 stars Down In Ole' Moulin Rouge!.......2005-04-17

On 1974's 'Nightbirds' Patti,Nona and Sarah all make it clear that when it comes to stanky,sweaty New Orleans R&B and funk they will be the undisputed female champians!"Lady Marmalade" was of course Labelle's big breakthrough single and likely what they'll always be remembered for but the trio also deliver several other funky tunes in a similar vein such as the title track,"Don't Bring me Down","All Girl Band" and "Somebody Somewhere" and these gals truely give the music their all.Patti Labelle and Nona Hendryx never have belted out stronger then they do here and Alen Toussaint's organ and horn heavy arrangements give every song here,even the two ballads a big,punchy sound.But it's not a disco thing-it's all about that hefty rhythm and alot of funkiness.A superb place to introduce yourself to Labelle if you already haven't and just a damn great CD to have!

5 out of 5 stars Labelle at its best.......2005-01-31

This is the quintessential Labelle album. I also love their farewell album, Chameleon but Nightbirds is the album that solidified their success. Who can forget Lady Marmalade? Although that is their most commercially successful hit, there are so many other classics on this album. The whole album is good, from start to finish. If you wanna dance, listen to Somebody Somewhere, Don't Bring Me Down, What Can I Do For You and Spacechildren. If you want to hear Nona's introspective lyrics about what was going on society at that time, listen to Are You Lonely. The more passionate (and slightly erotic) side of Labelle is evident in You Turn Me On. Other hits include It Took A Long Time, the title track and All Girl Band. This is true soul music...pick it up, you won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Labelle Delivers The FUNK!!.......2005-01-20

Hey
I listened to this cd on my Launchcast radio and had heard almost all of the songs when i decided to buy it. My favortie songs are: LADY MARMALADE (classic) SOMBODY SOMWHERE (Funky man funky) WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU (Disco beats) NIGHTBIRDS (slow jam) YOU TURN ME ON (the line "I come like a pouring rain, each time you call my name" always makes me smile)
They were the HOTTEST group in the 70s and I wish i could have seen them perform. I hear their stage shows were fascinating! I'm glad i have the cd to live back in the 70s everytime i hear it. So if you like funk/soul/disco all roled into one then buy this cd you won't be sorry.

        5 out of 5 stars This is a Great CD!.......2006-11-23

        Seasongs and Nightbirds is a CD that makes you feel good every time you play
        it. Shane Stonemans voice is soothing, mysterious and heartfelt . The opening
        track "Carefree Dreams" is aptly titled, letting the listener float away with
        the opening line "I sit on this island with a pot of gold."

        The music and imagery on this record are wonderful. Shane Stoneman has
        developed a style of writing that is unique in that the words and music seem to
        be held back to the point of barely moving yet the listener still feels the
        groove of Bass, drums, guitar and tastefully done harmonica. The tracks on
        Seasongs and Nightbirds flow well together with songs that sound like a stream
        of consciousness poetry-slam to simple story-telling lyrics about getting in the
        truck heading out on the hunt for surf session.

        Seasongs and Nightbirds has a great collection of musicians backing Shane up.
        He has been playing with Ron and Alex Work from Santa Cruz over the past couple of years and
        they complement the songs nicely with Alex's tasty drums and Rons smooth attack
        on the guitar and Ron receives producing credits with Shane as well. Other
        musicians include Central California favorites "Stitch" and uber-musician Dylan Johnson on
        Bass, T. Mack on Drums and Craig Melia helps out on back-up vocals.

        The sound quality of the CD is excellent. Recorded mostly at Painted Sky in
        Cambria, Ca the tone from track to track is even and warm, something not always
        heard on independent releases. So if you're looking for a CD you can play that
        will put a smile on your face and fill your house, car and head with good
        musical karma then include Seasongs and Nightbirds in your collection.
