5 out of 5 stars Great cd for great price.......2007-03-16

I love this cd. I just moved to the city from the suburbs and I miss hearing the birds in the backround all day, especially to wake up in the morning. The only "natural" sounds here are traffic, people walking by screaming and cursing profanities, and boys bouncing basketballs.(Oh and the occasional gun-shot.)
So, this is a PLEASURE to my ears. When we are finally living as God intended, on this earth in a paradise, then we will live without pollution and in peace with everyone, including the animals.
Until then, we have cd's with nature sounds on them.
As another reviewer stated, the first track does open kind of unnaturally with the sound of the surf, but it gets better. And in another track the water reminded me of gurgling bath water, but other than these minor flaws, it's great, and i'm very satisfied.

5 out of 5 stars Relaxing.......2007-01-18

I loved listening to this cd before bed. It was relaxing. The sound is realistic and there is no music distracting me from the natural sounds.

5 out of 5 stars Echoes of Nature: Morning Songbirds.......2006-11-03

Tinnitus sufferers---this is your CD. All Echoes of Nature CDs let you listen to the "sounds of nature" without disturbing high and lows of music. I have screeching tinnitus in both ears and take solace in these tapes. Try them!

5 out of 5 stars birds in paradise.......2005-09-18

I was staying in a highly rated hotel in Nice,France recently. The lobby was filled with the sounds of birds. For quite a while I searched everywhere but could not find any. Then it dawned on me that the songs were coming from the speakers overhead. I could not wait to find this CD. I'm going to put it on while I get a massage!

5 out of 5 stars Echoes of Nature: Morning Songbirds.......2005-09-06

This has become my "sleep" CD. It's wonderfully relaxing. There are many different kinds of birds and their songs along with nature sounds. I simply love it and plan on purchasing many more in this series. Money well spent.

1 out of 5 stars The Title is Misleading.......2007-05-25

This CD fails a threshhold test: the title is grossly misleading. It is NOT "Songbirds at Sunrise," but bird song overlaid with human music. I bought it because I wanted birdsong, and was beyond disappointed. If you want birdsong together with elevator music, buy it. I would have given it zero stars but that was not an option.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Nature Sounds.......2007-05-12

I love this CD. I own a small retail store and play it as background music. My customers love it. At first, they don't realize it's a CD, but when they do, they all want a copy. I purchased one for my grandson, 7, who wakes up cranky. His mom plays it for him to wake him up, so that he listens to the beautiful birds before he's out of bed. This is really a nice CD.

3 out of 5 stars Wonderfully soothing.......2006-08-18

I listen to music while I work as an accountant - it keeps me from becoming too stressed when the numbers don't work. Very calming music - almost like I'm listening to the birds outside on my deck with someone playing light music in the background.

5 out of 5 stars Love It!.......2005-10-05

This CD is a wonderful assortment of soothing songs. The first track to the last is extremely peaceful. I listen to it every time I am in our massage chair or have had a bad day and 9 out of 10 times I fall into a tranquil sleep. I do highly recommend this CD. Not to be played too loudly but rather as comforting background music. It brings me to a natural and serene state of mind.

5 out of 5 stars Change your life.......2005-06-22

This CD has changed my life. It really is a "morning" CD, and I listen to it, along with my two canaries, almost every morning, and we arrive into the day refreshed. This is the only CD I have kept through the years and never tired of -- I wish the musicians would do one for evening...

5 out of 5 stars A big thank you to the Gordon Brothers..........2007-08-05

...for another great musical experience!! I fell in love with the first of this series and have been waiting to hear the second in this series. This album is just as good as the first, if not better. I enjoy the long versions of the songs for yoga sessions and the shorter versions for a quick wind-down at the end of the day. If you end up enjoying this album as much as I do, check out another favorite of mine: Soothing Sanctuary.

5 out of 5 stars Exceptional for Love-making.......2003-02-08

This is far and away both my wife and my favorite CD for making love. Incredibly romantic, gentle and soothing, it has the ability to really heighten and prolong our intimate encounters assisting to transport us to new heights of ecstacy. We have been Tantric practitioners for over 10 years and this blissfully relaxing musical adventure consistantly accompanies our most passionate times together. Thank you again David & Steve Gordon for continuing to deliver inspired, fresh, heartfelt music that exhalts the soul.

4 out of 5 stars Relaxing.......2000-02-11

I am a fan of the Gordon's and find their music inspiring, moving, and relaxing. Their drum music is far the best score that they play, although this CD is on a different plane, it is still worth the purchase. Enjoy it!

5 out of 5 stars excellent for peace of mind.......1999-10-01

This CD is excellent for calming you at the end of a hectic day!!! VERY relaxing, especially if you enjoy nature noises, in particular waterfalls.

2 out of 5 stars Stabbing your eardrums with toothpicks would be more entertaining..........2006-02-12

Dear God - this is pretentious, bland pop trash at it's worst.

First, right out of the way, let me say that I was looking forward to getting this disk, after listening to a snippet of the first track, 'Embryo'.

Also let me say, I hadn't listened to any of Rosa's solo albums prior to that snippet, but I was a big fan of his work with Maggie's Dream, and I can't say that I was prejudiced against him regarding the whole Menudo thing. You break into the business however you can, I guess.

But this...

The first track being the exception here, the music is bland and uninspired, the lyrics are pretentious attempts at 'poetry', and Rosa's voice has the most annoying, droning whine imaginable to it.

Ug.

Luckily enough, I got it used for less than $5.

5 out of 5 stars Draco's vagabond soul.......2006-01-17

For those not familiar with Frio (and for those who don't speak Spanish!) this album is It. Welcome to the world of Draco Rosa, where words are portals to a separate existence and the human spirit can escape the confines of static emotion. Songbirds & Roosters is lyrical escapism at its best. Simple, effective instrumentation and melody allow the listener to indulge in the emotive journey of the lyrics and Draco's dark vocals are somehow soothing and unsettling both at once. The album's underlying melancholy reaches its blackest with "Lifeless Clown" and does not completely dissolve even beneath the romance of "Sunshine" or the relative brightness of the opening track, "Embryo." The stand-out track? "Mourning Gun," featuring Draco's voice over solo electric guitar, is a haunting and unforgettable musical experience that captures the artist's self-proclaimed romantic streak as well as his inscrutable instinct for poetic depth. A fine album by a fine artist - very much worth the purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Songbirds and Roosters.......2003-02-16

In this CD you will find the same melodies from "Frio" but with different lyrics what makes it very interesting cause who can make a Cd with old music and at the same time make all new with fresh lyrics... It is amazing how he portrays all his life in this Cd....Like he mostly do... songs that I like from this work are Blindman's parade, Nymph, Lifeless Clown.

5 out of 5 stars Great.......2002-12-12

It's awesome that someone could give you the feeling you get when you hear a song for the first time all over again with the same songs. This album is just great.You get used to "Frio" , then you get the same songs you love in english and it works wonderfully.I could not believe my ears the first time. This is an excellent piece of art and it should be in your collection.

5 out of 5 stars His Best work.......2001-12-06

I have all of Draco's cds including Maggie's Dream and Songbirds & Roosters is my favorite of them all especially the title song the way he weaves his words telling his story you can really feel what he is feeling.You can almost picture the stories he's telling as he wails his soul out for everyone to share.

Better than Gibson's 'Piano and Songbirds' this recording is only bird calls and songs backed by running water. The sound is clear and continuous without being repetitive. Recommended.

      Forthrightly billed as "the essential album," Songbirds is an attractive, wide-ranging collection of contemporary female singer-songwriters that's cleverly and deliberately aimed at those who have recently discovered the delights of Eva Cassidy. The basic premise here is that if you like Eva, there's plenty more where she came from. Across two discs and some 31 songs, the proposition is abundantly proved. The selection is broadly transatlantic, though the British and Irish contingents are heavily represented by the more folky performers, including Eliza Carthy, Norma Waterson (Eliza's mum), Kate Rusby, Cara Dillon, Maire Brennan (ex-Clannad), and June Tabor. Standout Americans include the late Ms. Cassidy herself, Emmylou Harris, and the always wonderful Mary Chapin Carpenter. Nitpickers will note that, although they are singers, not all the performers here are necessarily songwriters (Eva Cassidy for one), and they'll also wonder what happened to all the great women songwriters of past decades. You won't, for example, find Sandy Denny here, or Carole King, or Joan Baez. Nor will you find many of the exciting new voices in contemporary country, such as Gillian Welch, Iris Dement, and Lucinda Williams. Despite such omissions, this is a good, reasonably well-rounded snapshot of some excellent modern female performers. It's the kind of compilation album that's just perfect for drive-time playing. --Mark Walker

      4 out of 5 stars Very Nice Compilation.......2004-09-24

      This is a very good double CD. The sound quality and volume consistency are very, very good. (No need to raise or lower from track to track). Also, the songs flow well from track to track; obviously a lot of effort was taken on this. I just wish that some heavy hitters (Joni, Carly) were included. Eva Cassidy's take on Simon & Garfunkel's "Kathy's Song" is outstanding. Check out Philo records compilations (Philo So Far, Singers & Songwriters) as well!

      5 out of 5 stars A great mix of songs by terrific female artists!.......2003-08-05

      This two-disc compilation is an excellent introduction to a broad range of talented female singers. Ranging from popular artists such as Sarah McLachlan and Sinead O'Connor to (in the States, at least) lesser-known singers like Kate Rusby and Thea Gilmore, the discs offer a variety of sounds - from pop to folk to blues, and back again.

      If you enjoy Songbirds, you may also enjoy albums by the artists represented and other similar singers. Check out some of the following:
      "10" - Kate Rusby
      "Daybreaker" - Beth Orton
      "Sleepy Little Sailor" - Oh Susanna
      "Rules for Jokers" - Thea Gilmore
      "Tropical Brainstorm" - Kirsty MacColl
      "Be Here Now" - Suzanne Little (not featured on discs)
      "Heroine" - Wild Strawberries (not featured)
      "Trigger Fables" - Taste of Joy (not featured)
      "Silence" - Tara MacLean (not featured)
