Free Music Review: Sandy, You can do better
Hit: 1 Stars
I believe and will always believe that Sandi Patty has a timeless voice and she has inspired and moved many of us throughout the years of her career. Her writers and arrangers love her and it is apparent in every project.
With that being said, I can only guess that she is so comfortable now being a mom and growing older that she does not seem to care when an unflattering picture of her is allowed to be included in the liner notes or a song already recorded in her last project fills the current project.
She sounds glorious, but I have to say that the only cuts I really care for are WERE IT NOT FOR GRACE, FOR GOOD and maybe JOYFUL JOYFUL since I find it interesting that she still hits her last note with such clarity and ease after all these years. Maybe she chooses songs that she can easily do live and at her Women in Faith concerts?
I question her choice of 2 Crouch songs. Do we really need to hear those recorded again....even by her? I know they are personal, but we grew up with them and most of us can't stand to hear them anymore. I also question the arrangement and song choice of Panis Angelicus. Though I have taught and enjoyed that sacred classic in the vocal studio, I hardly think it belongs on a contemporary album. The songs do not relate to one another very well. The arrangement on PANIS is too loud and Sandy drowns her husband out in many places. WHy do we buy a Sandy album to hear Don Peslis? ( no offense Don...we love you too). If you listen carefully, OPERATOR has vocal arrangement problems. It never rocks like it should and the background vocals on the front end of the track are not fully realized. I skip that cut always!
I got the feeling that she struggled to fill an entire album here. What happenned to cd's like ARTIST OF MY SOUL? OR LE VOYAGE, FIND IT ON THE WINGS or even the cd she put out in 2003 was far superior( can't remember the name). I liked FALLING FORWARD, but was also dissapointed on some tracks because they seemed too Praise and Worship oriented.
I will always love Sandy, but I wish she would really scour her past writers and approach some new writers to bring fresh material to her that would challenger her and the listener. I understand she has nothing to prove, but I would love for that 39th Dove Award to become 40 before she decides to retire....not because of the award, but that I know she has so much more left to give.
I would even be open to an album of Classical songs or Love Songs or an album of non sacred songs by artists that she loved growing up hearing like Streisand or Karen Carpenter. Or better yet, an album of songs that are not expressly christian, but that you could relate to as a christian. How about a Duets album?-----new duets please....not with Trocolli, but a new one with Harris or Steve Green or a famous singer who is a believer?
The choices are unlimited here. Keep recording Sandi........thought this might be helpful since you love your fans. Love, C
