Free Music Review: A wonderful album from a wonderful singer
Hit: 5 Stars
Kathie is a complete unknown in Britain. I only came across her music when I learned that Dolly Parton contributed backing vocals to one of the songs on this album. I knew that Dolly would only have done this if Kathie were a good singer - and I was right although this was not the first of Kathie's albums that I bought. I actually started with Sentimental and the Christmas album, both albums filled with covers of classic songs, mainly romantic ballads. I loved them both so I immediately bought this album, which also contains several covers but contains some original material too. While this is not quite as exciting as those other two albums, it is still an album of a very high quality.
Kathie's voice has a tender, dreamy quality ideally suited to the romantic ballads that dominate this album, just as they dominated the other two albums that I mentioned. Kathie is less suited to dramatic up-tempo songs like Don't rain on my parade, but some of you will appreciate its inclusion as it provides a change of tempo.
The covers include Circle game (Joni Mitchell), It goes like it goes (from Norma Rae), Moondance (Van Morrison), Here's that rainy day (from the songbook of Jimmy Van Huesen), Before the parade passes by (from Hello Dolly), Don't rain on my parade (from Funny girl), I got lost in his arms (from Annie get your gun), On my way to you (co-written by Alan and Marilyn Bergman with Michel LeGrand), Sunrise sunset (from Fiddler on the roof) and Try to remember (from The Fantastiks). Some of the other songs are originals but it may be that some are covers. Note that Sweet dreams is NOT a cover of the song made famous by Patsy Cline although I'm sure that Kathie could sing that song superbly.
The album is built around the concept of Kathie's life story. In that respect, it falls short - it sounds to me like a series of songs that relate to particular events in Kathie's life but no more than that. I don't mind that as Kathie is among my favorite singers and doesn't need to worry about clever concepts. The album includes a 24 page booklet containing full lyrics and plenty of family photographs.
It is always hard for me to pick out highlights from an album so full of quality but here I'll nominate Born for you (which opens and closes the album), Circle game, Sweet dreams, Moondancing (with Collin Raye on backing vocals) and Only my pillow knows (with Dolly Parton on backing vocals).
If you are new to Kathie's music, I'd recommend starting with Sentimental or the Christmas album both of which I reviewed a long time ago - or the more recent gospel album, which I've yet to hear. If you enjoy those, you'll enjoy this too.
