When will I see you again.......2007-02-01

This was the first John Adorney CD I bought and still my favorite

When will I see you again has always moved me, but try hearing it played at a funeral of a friend of yours, like I did.

Moved me wow somewhere else

SImply Wonderful Music!.......2003-12-21

At the time I first wrote this review, I had just discovered John Adorney through a sampler CD. "Beckoning" was the first of his CDs that I bought. I cannot get enough of his music. He is creative and highly talented.

This is my review of all three Adorney CDs. For me, his music is like a religious experience. At the same time, it is soothing and relaxing yet energizing. There are several tracks, including 'Celebration,' on the 'Beckoning' CD, and 'Always' on 'Waiting for the Moon' CD, that I will play over and over. I simply cannot get enough of them.

I am not a serious musician, so I cannot give a technical critique. However, I find the instrumentation and arrangements to be superb. The music surrounds you with emotional warmth!

Buy all three CDs!

Breathtakingly, Jawdroppingly, Mindblowingly GREAT!.......2003-12-05

After listening to both of his albums, I have come to the conclusion that John Adorney is the most talented composer to ever walk the face of the Earth. I can't decide whether the title track, Beckoning, or Dance of the Moon and Stars is my favorite song of all time.

Soft, beautiful, soulful, restful, peaceful, soothing, gorgeous.

Some music you can listen to and grow tired of. Not this music.

True story: It's hard to find John Adorney's CDs in stores, so I ordered over the phone and made a special trip to Alabama to buy Beckoning. Loved it so much that within a couple of weeks, I drove back the buy The Other Shore. It was worth it!

I'd give this CD 7 stars if they'd let me. I sure hope JA comes out with more music in the future!

Bob Quinn

Fabulous.......2003-05-03

I have all of John Adorney's albums and just found out recently that they are played literally all around the world. When you listen to this CD, you'll understand why. He is an accomplished musician who writes beautiful, intricate and melodic pieces that you listen to over and over again without getting tired of them. An absolute must for a New Age music fan.

A momentary rave........2003-03-24

I absolutely LOVE this CD. Most of the time you buy a CD and one or two songs are "great" (probably the reason you bought the CD) a couple more are "OK" and the rest, well, they can't all be good can they?

Oh yes they can! John Adorney has put together a wonderful CD, that grabs you from the beginning and never lets go. This is a wonderful blend of melodic, accessible, mostly instrumental (very few vocal overlays) compositions.

The other amazing thing is that he plays most of the instruments, skillfully crafting each piece by overlaying the different musical tracks. What a gem! A lot of the New Age music I've heard has a tendency to kind of ramble and get caught up in itself. They get can get spacey and aimless, and quite frankly, start sounding too much the same after awhile.

Not so this CD. Mr. Adorney has composed 11 distinct "songs" with a beginning, hook, and (believe it or not) an ending! Wow, what a concept. Not only that, but this guy can get into a real groove, too. Some of the songs are in the 6 to 7 minute range, which allows him to really get into it, and he delivers...big time. Trust me...there is no weak song on this CD!

I first got turned on to John Adorneys' music when I got satellite TV and was listening to the New Age music channel. Since I have it on in the background, I usually don't pay that much attention, but whenever I hear something interesting, I'll look up to see who the artist is. I found myself looking up a lot and seeing that the reason why was because they were playing one of his compositions. His music sticks!

One more thing...I have lots of CD's. Most of them I'll listen to every once in awhile. Not this one. I listen to it all the time and, far from getting tired of it, it just gets better and better. Like a good movie that you can watch again and again and appreciate on a different level each time, this CD can be listened to again and again and still sound fresh.

OK. I'm done raving. Do yourself a favor and get this CD. You'll feel soooo much better!

Puts you in a good mood!.......2003-03-01

I don't typically buy "new age" instrumental music, but I heard a track from this CD on a cross-country flight and decided I needed to buy it. It's great music that will definitely put you in a good mood. The compositions are creative and rhythmic, with different influences, from reggae to Latin. This CD will add to any collection. I highly recommend it.

Beckoning.......2003-02-12

Absolutely a superb sound. I heard a short clip of Celebration on NPR's Morning Edition while driving. I immediately took note of the story that followed because I knew that I had to find that music. From hearing only about 20 seconds of music, I purchased what is probably the best CD I've owned. Great to listen to while programming. You won't regret this purchase.

Product Description

Jared (the frontman of the beckoning), is an expressive and impressive singer/songwriter, that won't be pigeonholed into one musical genre any time soon. His eclectic sound, boasts a combination of blues, folk, and rock, resonating with fans of Jeff Buckley, Thom Yorke, and Beck, his musical inspirations. Studying with Grammy nominated songwriter Chris Cunningham and Grammy Award winner Kevin Bowe, Jared has learned to write and perform songs that may be described as haunting, passionate, evocative, and honest all at once. Though his age is young (22), his lyrics display a mature and distinct style. With heart-felt songwriting and an aggressive vocal style that is as urgent as it is soulful, the beckoning's performances offer more than the standard bill-of-fare of most singer/songwriters. Capturing the edgy quality of rock, the simplicity and sensitivity of folk, and the musicality of blues, Jared is able to create songs that offer the listener an escape from musical boredom. Trite lyrics, simplistic instrumentals, and halfhearted showmanship are not part of Jared's future in music. Instead, the words 'impressive', 'captivating' and 'amazing', are just some of the comments you will continue to hear from critics and audiences alike when this singer/songwriter takes the stage. the beckoning's highly anticipated debut album "Lilydale Road" will transcend all traditional musical boundaries and establish Jared as an up and coming musical innovator.

Great debut CD.......2005-06-23

Amazing cd, its very creative and it has several different types of music that I like. The lyrics probably make the cd as good as it is. Its worth listening to the cd focusing on what the artist is portraying. For a new artist this cd has a lot of potential and is a must recommend from me.

wow!.......2005-06-11

I like to buy indie music. And every once and awhile, I come accross a gem. This guy is crazy good. Radiohead meets Damien Rice, kind of stuff. Hope the word gets out on these guys. I'm glad to be the first to post a message. All and all, this album came way out of left field, and for that, I love it.

One Hit Wonder...NOT!!!.......2006-01-19

There is so much more to this album than "I Have A Gentil Cock". Like most, I originally purchased the album for this harmonious hit single, but after a few months I was beginning to get burnt out on it. I eventually decided to give the rest of the CD a try and was amazed. DONT MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE!!! Dont get me wrong, "I Have A Gentil Cock" is a brilliantly mastered song but please do yourself a favor and give the rest of this cd a try. You wont be sorry!

Keeping Chaucer Alive.......2003-12-24

This CD, and the Songbook that it accompanies, make Chaucer a living presence for the contemporary reader and listener. Many of Chaucer's pilgrims define themselves in part by the music they play or sing, and the characters in the stories they tell (even the rooster and chicken in "The Nun's Priest's Tale") express themselves musically. Until Carol Wood put this collection together, and arranged and performed the music for it, no one had made this rich context available. But not only is the work a triumph of musicological scholarship, the playing and singing are lovely quite on their own. Every edition of Chaucer (who wrote a number of poems, or portions of poems, for music) ought to include this CD in a pocket in the jacket!

A Refreshing Change.......2003-02-13

Carol Wood is a well-known Celtic scholar with a Ph.D. in Medieval Welsh literature and several books on Celtic poetry and early music. I once had the pleasure of hearing her perform in Paris. Her approach to early music and to the performance of the works on this beautiful disk as well as on her other CDs is a refreshing change from those pseudo-"authentic" performances on pseudo-"ancient" instruments that self-styled "scholars" insist is the only "correct" approach. Her love of this music comes through in the joy of her performance and in her truly "professional" and "scholarly" approach to it. I heartily recommend it to all lovers of early music.

Music To Feel Good About.......2002-09-21

While I like this CD for its solid renditions of medieval tunes, I think it should have a strong appeal to those who are caught up in the Celtic music craze. Though the performances are solid, they are also sensitive, subtle, and, at times, even delicate. There's nothing heavyhanded or flashy on this disc. I live in Wood's home town (Lake Charles, LA), and here she is better known for her harp playing than her singing. That may be appropriate, since some of her compositions for solo harp are quite lyrical (check out her "Beasts of Bethlehem" CD). But the big surprise on the "Chaucer Songbook" is Wood's singing. It has a childlike quality that is utterly charming and irresitible. This CD will make you feel better than anything you've heard in a long time.

A Relaxing and Beautiful Trip into the Middle Ages.......2000-07-22

The singing and playing on this disk, as well as the music itself, is quite wonderful. There is also an extremely interesting, informative, and attractive booklet that comes with it filled with a great deal of information about Chaucer, the music, the sources of the music, and translations. Whether one is interested in Chaucer or not, the music is very compelling and quite beautiful, and all the facts about the Middle Ages were quite interesting, too. All three of the female vocalists are superb, as is the harp playing and the other instrumental music. I have listened to this CD many times now and find it very relaxing, especially after a day of work. So it has my highest recommedation for several reasons.
