With her Martin guitar and long cotton-print dresses, Indiana's Carrie Newcomer would seem to be the very model of the modern folk musician. She quickly dispels that notion, however, with the very first song on My Father's Only Son. The song is "Crazy in Love," and before Newcomer even opens her mouth, her folk-rock band shatters any possible mood of introspection with a twangy electric guitar riff and soulful organ chords. "You wouldn't think a grown woman would act like a high school girl," Newcomer sings, celebrating such pop-music prejudices as action over thought and passion over prudence. Not every song on My Father's Only Son escapes the endemic carefulness of coffeehouse folk as successfully as "Crazy in Love," and Newcomer sometimes gives in to whispery quaintness. --Geoffrey Himes

My Father's Only Son.......2005-09-10

This was a gift for my husband and he loved it.
This CD is more of a folk/ballad type of music.
She has a way of drawing you in and making you remember times of your own past.
My husband's favorite song is,"My Father's Only Son."

Carrie's twangiest.........2005-01-16

I love all of Carrie's music. This album is a great place for someone coming from country music to start with.

In my all time top 5 recordings!.......2003-01-15

Literally days after my wife and I moved to Indiana in 1993 we happened upon a concert in the city park; Carrie Newcomer opened the show and we've been fans ever since, eagerly awaiting each new album. Happily, we had the chance to meet and spend some time with her several times over the years, which has made her music even more special to us. My Father's Only Son remains my favorite of all her recordings for its strong writing, great melodies, and personal lyrics that reflect a lot of Carrie and a fair amount of midwestern life. It's a CD we've given as gifts and a copy has remained in our car for at least the last 75,000 miles we've driven. I highly recommend this disc to anyone into folk, singer-songwriters, or just plain real music that's about-- to quote Randy Travis from another context --"people and feelings." It's a desert island disc for sure!

My Personal Favorite.......2002-03-20

It's not easy to choose a favorite recording by Carrie Newcomer, since they are all excellent in different ways, but I would have to choose "My Father's Only Son" above the others. I keep coming back these songs as if they were old friends -- "My Father's Only Son" ('You don't talk much in a fishing boat/It just scares the fish away...'), "I'm Not Thinking of You", "Up In the Attic", "The Madness You Get Used To" and "The Rooms My Mother Made" are five solid reasons why this album should become part of your permanent collection. If you've never heard Carrie's voice wrap itself around your heart and mind, this just might be the best way to do it until you're able to see her in concert. She's a treasure.

An extremely talented performer and writer........1999-07-19

Carrie is a world class writer and performer. She has a voice that can carry the message in that special way it has to be done. I have yet to be disappointed in any of her works. I feel that she does not get the recognition she deserves.

Bless The Lord, O My Soul -- a moving performance.......2000-03-17

This portion, Bless The Lord, O My Soul, appears on a disk called: Angels of Ecstasy (BMG) and is by the Moscow Chamber Choir (Minin). The first time I heard this both beautiful and moving music, and the perfect performance, I had to stop everything and just listen and appreciate. My next step was to search Amazon.com to see if the original, complete recording might be available, and so it is at a remarkable bargain price.

Gorgeous!.......1999-10-24

This collection of song cycles is simply beautiful. Collected from Finno-Ugric peoples around the Baltic sea area, near Tormis' homeland of Estonia, the songs range from complex arrangements to snippets. Most of the peoples represented on the disk (the Livonians, Karelians, Ingrians, etc.) are dying out, and their languages are almost dead as well. Tormis' beautiful choral arrangements awaken the need to preserve these cultures, and are especially meaningful to anyone with Finno-Ugric heritage. Get the 2-CD set if possible -- it's definitely worth it.

Classic Orthodox Chants.......2001-08-24

A subtle recording, documenting some of the chanting styles used at the Kyrillo-Belozersk monastery. Technically speaking, the chants are performed flawlessly. However, at times I found myself yearning for more warmth - a warmth you might better find with a small ensemble of monks in their monastery, rather than an institute. Overall, this CD is very good, with the focus being track 10 "The Cherubic Hymn." This is a very well-known, ancient hymn (written circa. 300 AD, possibly earlier), and is chanted using a classic melody.
