Free Music Notes for Renee Olstead
Free Music Review: Renee Olstead, a singer all will know about
Hit: 5 Stars
To start, I haven't bought or wasted much time in the past 30 years listening to anything trying to pass for music.
I read all 160 reviews, to be sure I made it very clear what her album means to me. And why I would bother with adding a review that's clearly in the majority.
I found out about Renee's singing thru her TV show as others did.
So I don't waste anyones time with repeating what's been repeated many times in the past 160 reviews, I'll leave out her age. It has no relevance to her sound.
I won't compare her to anyone else...Not to say another more mature singer
hasn't emulated Renee note for note to her disadvantage because Renee did it first and better.
I've tried, but at a total loss to get hold of her other two albums 'Unleashed' & 'Stone Country'. Much as I like her singing, I'm not putting out $80.00 for a 4 track album by anyone. But If I were to spend that much on music, her singing would be the deciding factor.
With most of the 160 reviews, they focus on the fact the album is bluesy/jazz.. and her age, and how this relates to how she sounds. I wouldn't know bluesy jazz if it bit me. But I do know when I like something, and my only gripe about Renee, is that I only have 14 songs by her to play over and over aqain. Her new album Skylark is due out in two days, reported by several web sites. And for this reason, I add my positive review to this album. I want more albums by Renee to listen to. One album just doesn't play that long. I figure the more that know
about her, the more incentive she has to make more albums. And increase my odds of more albums by her.
I see with Renee's album, the music and her renditions. It's all about her sound and how it sounds like her smiling with each song. You can hear how she enjoys singing. And something else I've found, playing her album over & over again also brings on new discoveries each time. The same songs are never the same. That's why I can't get enough of her singing.
My favorite was & still is Midnight at the oasis.. But it's having a hard time remaining at the top of my list. She sings duets that change every time I hear them, and inch them closer to the top of the list.
I really shouldn't mention a favorite, as I've given all 14 songs in my Itunes list 5 stars, so that when I play my favorites, hers are at the top.
Oasis just has such an odd story line to it.
My recommendation would be, if you like music, Renee is the one to watch. If you like the genre of music she's now into, you wouldn't want to be caught not knowing who Renee Olstead is.
Then you have her invitation to sing for the president. I predict she'll sing for many more presidents.
I was prompted to read all 160 reviews to see just why this album only rated a 4 1/4 stars. It seems there were 3 Trolls that wasted every ones time with a review from them. And several that just didn't feel like 5 was deserved. None lower than 3 except the trolls. And even one of them couldn't give her less than a 3. I'd say that speaks more than most of the other 155+ reviews. A troll that couldn't bring himself to bash her singing worse than a 3.
Had to be trolls. 155+ were in complete opposition. Remove the troll opinions and you have a solid 4 3/4. Maybe more depending on the star graphics available.
