Free Music Review: The definitive Janis Ian CD
Hit: 5 Stars
There is something magic about Janis Ian's songs. Most of us know one or two, often 'At Seventeen' or 'Society's Child', but the sheer number of top quality songs that this lady has written in a career that began seemingly in the nursery is staggering. This two CD set is the definitive introduction to a truly inspirational songwriter who can bring tears to your eyes or a smile to your lips (sometimes in the same song) and say something fresh and important every time she puts pen to paper. As well as her songwriting talent she is also a first class singer, guitarist and pianist, by far the best interpreter of her own songs, as well as a very fine writer (see her autobiography 'Society's Child'). In Janis we have a true multi-talented Renaissance woman, and such a lovely person as well. It's enough to give you back your faith in real talent, unsullied by music industry hype. This is the genuine article, beware of cheap imitations. You have an enormous treat in store if you aren't familiar with her less mainstream work. Janis is still a prolific writer and performer of songs and the work she is doing now is just as poignant and powerful as it ever was. The woman herself is as ageless as her music. Buy the two CDs, you won't regret it!
