My Jesus – Anne’s Solid Gold hit. Great words to this song about Jesus. Wonderful smooth country sound. Great range for Anne’s voice. Dark and rich tones. Devil – Stressing the Holy Ghost is in control, the song is heavy bass and rhythm and an eerie song. Sunday Sermons – smooth country rock vibe with wonderful words about the gospel. Hey Girl – heavier country rock song with a message using the common phrase Hey Girl This House – Rock song talking about the foundation we need Mansion – Singing about the mansions awaiting Christians in heaven. Higher range vocals. Mamas – One of my favorites on the album with a very catchy melody. Good country vocals and smooth sounds. No Place Like Home – My top favorite on the album. Anne’s voice has a wonderful country vibrato and sounds like a darker Dolly Parton tone. Beautiful melody. God Thing – Rock song with country vocals. That’s What We Need – Country rock with catchy lyrics. Something about that Name – Country rock that will be a great worship song. Closer to God – Rock with country vocals in the high range.

A Charlie Brown Christmas Music Celebration Giveaway

by
Charlie Brown album

Disclosure: Album provided to review. Full disclosure here. The Christmas season doesn’t start until I hear the music of Vince Guaraldi. You’ll know his famous Christmas arrangements from Snoopy’s A Charlie Brown Christmas. When I hear these songs, I’m taken back to my childhood when I loved watching this classic Christmas movie on television. Can you believe that it has been 70 years since Peanuts was created? Charles Schulz was the creator of this well-loved cartoon. The characters are so timeless and the humor charming. Craft Recordings is celebrating this 70 year milestone with new playlists and video releases featuring the original songs from Vince Guaraldi. These beautiful and haunting songs have helped to define the Peanuts experience over the past seven decades. As our families will soon be celebrating the season at home, we’ll enjoy the streaming playlists and new music videos. We will love sharing new collectible editions of the Charlie Brown Christmas album with a new generation. We’ve included two new animated music videos for you to enjoy. A “Peanuts 70th Anniversary Playlist” is available across music streaming service, featuring 70 favorite songs from various television specials and compilations. As part of the anniversary celebration, Craft Recordings also presents a one-time vinyl pressing of A Charlie Brown Christmas featuring a bonus “dancing” lenticular print of the original 1965 album cover with Schulz’s iconic illustration. The LP has been pressed on a range of colors and picture discs for participating retailers.The soundtrack album, featuring music from the 1965 animated television special A Charlie Brown Christmas, includes timeless classics such as “Christmas Time Is Here,” “O Tannenbaum,” and “Linus and Lucy.” The certified 4x Platinum soundtrack album remains the second best-selling jazz title in history, and the animated show continues to be a signature television special every holiday season. A native of San Francisco, Vince Guaraldi became one of America’s most successful jazz artists of the 20th century. Though Guaraldi’s legacy is most famously tied to his association with Peanuts, he was already an established, GRAMMY® Award-winning artist by the time that producer Lee Mendelson tapped him to score the first of many animated specials based on the comic strip by Charles Schulz. The 70th Anniversary of Peanuts vinyl releases are highly collectible; LPs released earlier this year are already sold out.

Joanna Forest’s Family Musical Adventure

by
Joanna Forest

The light soprano voice of Joanna Forest is perfect as she sings the lullaby from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang: Hushabye Mountain. If you’ve been lucky enough to watch this movie with your children, you’ll get chill-bumps as you listen to this lovely version. I’m thankful to be asked to review the new CD from Joanna Forest. As a classically trained musician myself, I loved the variety of performances on her newest album. Joanna Forest is a classical crossover artist and is an award-winning performer. Joanna Forest began her career as a classical crossover artist in 2014, and had her first solo album in 2017, that went to No. 1. She has sung in many events, on television, and the West End in London. Her new CD, The Rhythm of Life has a theme of “exploring a day in the life of a child”. This family-friendly cd is wonderful to share with your children and children of all ages. The music was recorded in London at Angel Studios. Joanna sings many beautiful solos. She’s chosen some of the most lovely melodies to convey emotions and actions that a child might experience during a normal day. There are wonderful duets and orchestral performances, too. You’ll recognize many of the tunes, from popular movies and theatre: Hushabye Mountain I’d Like To Teach the World to Sing Let’s Go Fly a Kite Food, Glorious Food When You Wish Upon a Star I also loved the orchestral production of Clair de Lune. This was gorgeous, and a wonderful way to introduce your children to Debussy. But, all the music isn’t classical. You’ll love the popular stylings of Greatest Day and Rhythm of Life. The children’s choir and voices add so much warmth and heart to the album. I think this CD from Joanna Forest will be loved by music lovers, whether classical-music lovers or just music lovers in general. @2019, copyright Lisa Ehrman
