    5 out of 5 stars Interesting collection of songs!.......2003-03-01

    I've been a fan of Kathy's music for year so I can't claim to be unbiased, but this is a really good collection of songs. Merlin is fantastic and gives me shivers, Dirty Movie makes me laugh, Word of God is a really interesting look at science v. religion, but the song that really stands out to me on this collection is "Child's Song" - every time I hear Kathy sing it I cry. Let me assure you, songs on CD don't usually make me do more than sniffle a little but this one makes me cry. Kathy brings such passion to this particular song.
    While you're at it give her other albums a try too!

    5 out of 5 stars A masterful filk album, beautifully sung.......2002-10-04

    I had the pleasure and privilege of listening to Ms. Mar sing a lot of these songs at a SF convention...and ran _right_ straight to the huckster's room to buy the album! Her voice is lovely and her songs are, too. They range in subject from traditional "folk" stuff to modern folk to "filk" (SF-related folksongs) and are always worth listening to.

    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful! Wonderful!!.......1999-09-30

    I've seen Kathy Mar develop as a singer over the past 15 years, beginning with her album "Songbird." She's really outdone herself with this one.

    4 out of 5 stars Decent folk by a hard-line filker.......1999-09-10

    Kathy Mar has surrounded herself with a bunch of good musicians and a bunch of good songs. Her voice is pleasant enough, if nothing to write home about. This is a nice combination of folk and "filk" (science-fiction themed) tunes from writers as well known as Steve Goodman and Christine Lavin to people with purported "names" like "Countess Axylides" and "Zander Nyrond." I think the line for the comet forms over there...

    A highlight for me is her nice take on Murray McLaughlin's "Child's Song," which never fails to bring tears to the eyes no matter who's singing it.

    Nice, clean production.Give it a try!

    5 out of 5 stars Great songs well chosen and brilliantly performed!.......1999-08-20

    Kathy Mar has been singing all her life, and this has got to be her best album yet. Her voice effortlessly encompasses a whole range of moods and styles, from blues to folk to jazz and back again. There are songs here to chill you, to make you laugh, to make you think and to make you cry. The musical performances are excellent, the production and arrangements faultless, and the words are so clear you don't even need a lyric sheet. Buy this CD. You won't regret it.

    4 out of 5 stars James excells with sound arranging and accompaniment.......2003-05-20

    Joni James excells in this pleasant two-fer that finds her singing Broadway classics and from the Gershwin songbook. The arranging and accompaniment work on both albums is superb, though pianist/arranger Paul Smith (on both albums) can, at the keyboard, sound as showy as Liberace, which detracts from these jazz-infused renditions. The highlight of My Favorite Things is James' reading of The Gentleman is a Dope. Here, her phrasing, which at times can be less pleasing, is on target. Her Gershwin disc finds her in great voice and she offers up nice renditions which will be pleasing to any fan of pop or jazz vocals.

    5 out of 5 stars Voice like an angel...Fresh and modern renditions of beautiful hymn classics.......2006-11-12

    Wow, what an AMAZING voice. I found Sarah quite by accident doing a search for the hymn "Great Is Thy Faithfulness." I found this fantastic album of mostly hymns, which has a gorgeous version of my all-time favorite hymn, "How Great Thou Art." I probably have 8 or 9 different versions of this particular hymn, and Sarah's is now my new favorite. She doesn't get too funky with changing lyrics....yet this version is unmistakably fresh and modern. Love it!
