Free Music Review: Naked EnCHANTress Casts a Spell on the Ears
Hit: 5 Stars
Maura O'Connell, a brilliant singer, has always had a strong voice and a skilled delivery. Her new CD, Naked With Friends, brings to the ears of a modern, fast-paced and high-tech world the simplicity and beauty of old-world music--singing without musical accompaniment. Maura gives us the luxury of listening to the naked voice, in the way of the chants of early church music; with the A-list of accompanying guest voices that she's assembled, Maura O'Connell enCHANTs the listener placing the focus on the naked voice and beautiful words of the 13 songs, from Janis Ian's "Some People's Lives" to the traditional "Ae Fond Kiss" by Robert Burns. Among the notable voices are Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss, Tim O'Brien, Mary Black, Moya Brennan and dobro-wizard Jerry Douglas. If you don't shed a genuine tear after some of these songs, you need to take a long break by the lake. Sit on the grass under a tree, close your eyes and pay attention!
In the early 80s, Gregorian chant reached an impressive popularity. It was during that time, that I heard about Hildegard of Bingen, a nun, mystic and composer of music for the early church. Hildegard described herself as "a feather on the breath of God" A Feather on the Breath of God. Surely, Maura O'Connel's voice on this new recording has been guided along as a feather on the breath of God!
When a singer has a beautiful voice; when a talented singer knows HOW to sing, being unbound by the adornments of instruments and such, there appears a sparkling light in the sound, that we cannot hear at any other time.
Congratulations to Maura on a dream realized, and on a job beautifully and done. The woman who's always described herself as "just a singer" should be standing tall and proud now, just an amazingly wonderful singer.
