Free Music Notes for Desiderata
Free Music Review: Nice... with a little bit for everyone
Hit: 3 Stars
I bought this, much the same as many other reviewers, for Desiderata. However, I found many of the other pieces equally moving and the entire collection is certainly worth listening to. I cannot say I was spellbound, I can, however, say I do not regret my purchase and am greatful for the messages in each of the songs.
Desiderata Poster
We at Collectors' Choice Music continue our pursuit of the most eclectic, eccentric and unique recordings in pop music history with the release of this 1971 album from TV talk show host Les Crane! Les' soothing rendition of the 1906 inspirational poem "Go Placidly Among the Noise and the Haste," set to a gospel soul musical background and retitled "Desiderata," caught the early-'70s self-help zeitgeist and shot to #8 on the charts, taking this album into the Top 40 with it. The rest of the record features top LA session musicians backing Crane's reading of such works as Thoreau's "Independence (A Different Drummer)" and "Nature (Wilderness)," "Maxim Gorky's Esperanza (Hope)," the Native American poem "Vision," "Friends," "Beauty (Shining from the Inside Out)," "Happiness (I Got No Cares)," "Courage (Eyes That See)," and even an adaptation of Dorothy L. Nolte's poem "Children Learn What They Live" entitled "Love." For collectors of the strange pathways of American pop culture (and aren't we all?), this one's a gem.
