There was nothing like the Robeson sound, ever. To describe his deep, rich, perfectly equalized instrument is futile. Go instead to "Balm in Gilead," the opening track, and see if you can listen to the last pianissimo phrase without falling to pieces. Robeson was at his best when the music was slow and the words contained spiritual or social messages. Faster, lighter fare like Kern's "I Still Suits Me" or Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So" find the serious-minded singer out of his element, lacking irony and swing. "Old Man River," though, gets a simple, dignified treatment. It's Songs of Free Men, though, that will just keep Robeson's artistry rolling along, especially in Sony's astonishing transfers. --Jed DistlerCustomer Reviews:

A Voice from the 40s, often dated, often moving.......2002-09-01
No one need have any fears about the mono sound quality. The orchestra in the second half of the program is at times a little dwarfed by Robeson's voice, but it generally sounds clean and colorful, and the great artist's voice rings like no other.
Robeson at his best.......2000-05-12
In response to a previous question: Robeson's performance of Danny Boy (Londonderry Air) can be found on the Vanguard LP entitled "Robeson" (VRS-9037).

Product Description
"Visions and Dreams" is the long awaited follow up to "Progressive World". AutumnÂ’s Child once again blends the native American flute with colorful instrumentation including: harp, cello, piano, guitar, percussion and more! The first half of the album was written with the "global chamber" sound they have made popular and are so well known for. Sensuous melodies balanced with world music grooves. These arrangements are beautifully orchestrated and well crafted, using the particular instruments with specific purpose and intent that enhances and enriches the compositions. Music that is accessible and appeals to a variety of ages and all walks of life. The last half features a more jazzy influence with pieces like "Open Sky" and the beautiful arrangement of "Be Thou My Vision" to the reggae-ish groove, "Patchouli Breeze". This recording has amazed listeners at how these wood flutes can play so many different styles of music... and all on one cd! The 3 interludes offer abbreviated sonic markers with the native flute and a String Orchestra from Prague Czech Republic, licensed from an upcoming PBS documentary entitled, "Redemption Road". The opening 2 compositions are almost considered one... with "Painting A Dream" played in a dreamy, lyrical style followed by "Avenue Of The Villa", a bit more up tempo with tabla driving the piece. "Midnight Rain" is an absolutely beautiful melodious piece with flute and cello weaving light in the darkness with incidental french horn lines adding to the mix with piano. "Sketches Of Autumn" is sort of a bouncy shuffle that drifts into a lovely arrangement of Neil YoungÂ’s "After The Goldrush"arranged for native flute, cello and guitar. Also worthy of note for this recording is the use of the bamboo bansuri on "An AngelÂ’s Whisper In A Bamboo Garden" as well as "Sunlit Waterfall". "...Bamboo Garden" is one of the most meditative, hypnotic pieces on the album. (hint: listen deep into the cd for an improvisation with bansuri and tabla) "Visions and Dreams" is a prime example of what "new directions" for the native American flute is all about! AutumnÂ’s Child continues to create new sonic territories with their creative approach of fusing different musical designs. Mya Duran - New World MusicCustomer Reviews:

Mark Holland does it again!.......2002-12-10
As the CD title hints, this release features elements of progressive world music. Mark Holland is joined by members of the Peter Mayer Group. Peter Mayer himself plays most of the classical guitar on this project.
Mark's writing has long been charming audiences in Saint Louis. He has the ability to give voice to the flute and force you to remember the melody of each and every song. Progressive World is loaded with such songs. There is a sort of 'pop sensibility' to his songs. In other words... he writes great hooks!
Two of my favorite songs though are the extended experimental pieces "Dream Sequence" and "Spheres". Both are roughly nine minute cuts that take the listener into a tranquil dream. These are atmospherical tracks that remind me (in spirit) of the early 70's Tangerine Dream records.
Realistically, Autumn's Child has not made a bad CD. So when I tell you that this may be their best CD to date, that's saying something. Just buy it!

Buffy's Best.......2000-05-28
You'll take a trip through a variety of genres from her haunting Native North American Sounds, Folk Roots, 70s Orchestrations, Controversial Soundtracks (ie Soldier Blue), Nashville Country and Unreleased Bonus Tracks.
The Ultimate Surprise was to hear a Remastered, Cleaned up version of her European Hit song 'Soldier Blue' from her album She used to wanna be a Ballerina. That alone is wonderful !
Great songs; less than ideal format.......2000-02-14
The song selections are less scattershot than Vanguard's two other Buffy Sainte-Marie compilations ("Best of, Vols. 1 & 2"), but Sainte-Marie's 1996 "Up Where We Belong" CD, featuring new recordings of some of her best work, is a more nuanced retrospective.

Golden Ears needs a hearing aid.......2006-08-08
Avoid all her albums!.......2006-06-19
She does have a strong voice with a fairly pretty tone. However, she hasn't a clue how to use her voice. She sings all over the place with little attention to expression and coherence.
Ms. Gilliom needs to learn that singing is not about flash and technique; it is about communicating from one heart to another--at least in this type of music:.
If all of the above seems harsh, I would suggest this: Compare Amy with
Willie K who sings on some of her albums. Note the difference in expressiveness between the two.
Raiatea Helm (a younger singer) who is a far superior singer to Amy.
Genoa Keawe (the legend) who is also way better than Amy.
Nalani Olds (an older singer) who sadly does not get a fraction of the recognition that she deserves.
When you compare you will hear the difference and, I think, agree that Amy just doesn't have it. At least not yet.

This is the voice of Free Men...........2001-11-03
Robeson championed the cause of the working man through his music. Joe Hill is one of my favorites, in which Paul sinks down to the vocal depths with an astounding ease. The Song of the Plains is a rouser, and, if I remember correctly, it's sung in two languages. The Ballad For Americans is here, and it's a classic... and, for me, it's the very definition of America and the great spirit and soul of its people and its greatness. By and By is one of my favorite spirituals, and this is the version I remember. Who sang spirituals with as much richness and depth of feeling as Paul Robeson? Maybe Marian Anderson, whose voice was unique and whose life broke through so many barriers.
This is an album for those who love freedom and the many races who seek it. God bless Paul Robeson for his incredible contribution to humanity.
