Simply Love

Product Description

Tron Simpson, KCMN Program Director (letter)
"This lady is exceptional! Kay's writing and singing prove to be addictive to anyone listening."

Product Description:
A pop-folk-country collection (with a touch of jazz). "Simply Love" is a bright, soulful mix of colorful originals straight from the sound palette of this multi-talented singer-songwriter. From vibrant dabs of humor to deep, rich strokes of sentiment and soul, Kay takes us to places we haven't been in a while...through hometown walkways, up streets of hope and promise, and back home to the proch with those we love most, and all things sweet and simple. Each song is a painted canvas all its own.

5 out of 5 stars Witty and Charming.......2000-08-15

This CD is fun and action packed as much as you could hope for in a CD. He uses quotes from many famous folk and classical songs and implements them into his own compositions with a bit of a twist. For example, in Classical rap, where he raps about being the best rapper in the world with terrific brass interludes between the verses. The orchestra plays a clip from Vivaldi's "Spring" and then he twists it into a record "wicky-wicky" to the same tune. He introduces every peice before it is played in a hilarious manner in which he talks about the peice and something else that was going on in the composers mind as he wrote the peice. Starting at the begining-

This is Professor Pete- Peter Schickele introduces himself as well as P.D.Q.

1712 Overture- A takeoff of the 1812 overture of course, with snatches of some famous folktunes thrown in here and there.

Oedipus Tex- A parady of the Greek Myth Oedipus Rex where he murders his father who is the King. Oedipus Tex lives a life like his brother but in Texas style.

The next tracks are more comedy than exactly music like the WTWP station giving options over the phone about how you would like to hear a certain peice of music. Cooking French... is a woman cooking a French gourmet meal but flubbing up the entire time.

What I have already said pretty much sums it up. The rest of the tracks are equally hilarious and as witty as all the others. If you buy this CD you will not regret it no matter what type of music you listen to.

WOW! I first heard Michael Dulin on the internet and became a fan. His arrangements are so fresh and transcending. I feel like I'm listening to his soul journeying through each piece. Thank you, Michael, for allowing me to journey with you.

5 out of 5 stars Soundscapes.......2005-09-20

I first heard this cut on Soundscapes on my Direct TV. I looked it up and Amazon had it! I have played it for dinner parties, cigar smoking, fine wine drinkin and am just plain happy I was spontaneous to use some of my credits to treat my life to some wonderful music.

5 out of 5 stars A Timeless Classic!!.......2004-11-11

Michael Dulin brings New Age genre to its Classical roots with his 2004 release, "Timeless". Dulin provides us with a wonderful selection of tracks written by some of the greatest composers of all time. Listeners not familiar with the Classical geniuses of the 18th and 19th Century will be surprised with some of the compositions that we hear everyday in use with TV commercials and movies. Composers such as Debussy (Clair de Lune), Beethoven (The Emperor's Adagio), Bach (Prelude) and many others. My personal favorite is Simply Satie by French composer Erik Satie. (I've always wondered who composed this music because I heard the group, Blood, Sweat & Tears and Saxophonist Gato Barbieri perform this same melody on their albums.) Once again, as he did with previous CD reviewed by us, Dulin showcases his great talents as an arranger and pianist. His strong aesthetic attention to detail in the production is a testament to this outstanding recording. I recommend this CD to anyone who would like to rediscover the Classics.

5 out of 5 stars Great set of wartime rarities.......2003-05-14

Spike Jones was the king of the novelty song performers, with hits like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and the parody version of "Sheik of Araby" becoming huge hits during World War II. This is a swell 3-CD set, gathering a full eighty-one of Jones' best tracks from his 1940s heyday, drawn from an extensive archive of radio broadcasts made for the Standard Transcription service. The tightness of his City Slickers band is amply demonstrated in these manic, kookily orchestrated performances. Toots, squonks, blatts and bleats whiz by at lightning speed, as one daffy song after another will delight devoted fans. Amazingly, Jones had the unusual, almost unique ability to perform a repertoire almost entirely made up of comedic material, and yet still be quite listenable and engaging. His jazz chops were hardly in question, and from time to time Jones would dash off a non-novelty ballad or two, just to give the rubes something to think about. Of course, just as often he would perform a song that *sounded* like a straight ballad, but would turn out to be another goof. (One great example of this is the sultry "Serenade To A Jerk," sung in slinky, burlesque tones by Myrtle Horwin.) This collection may seem a little overwhelming, but like his studio recordings, these radio performances have a certain brilliance and joie de vivre about them that will leave you enchanted. Definitely worth checking out!

This collection has remastered material from the large stack of Standard Transcription discs from the early 1940's. There are many songs not recorded on RCA, many on the theme of wartime ("48 Reasons Why"), and the quality is excellent. The packaging is threadbare but this is an essential CD package for true music lovers.

4 out of 5 stars HURRICANE RITA....SORRY I MEAN CHITA.......2005-12-09

Bajour had most of all the ingredients for a successful show. Talented cast, colorful costumes, witty scenery, tuneful and lively songs, torrid choreography and the fantastic and uncannily thrilling dancing of Chita Rivera who single-handedly nearly caused a fire alarm from the sparks shooting from her heels. The problem which could not be solved was the book which was too convaluted and had a premise stretched beyond the breaking point. Nancy Dussault as Emily is a student who in order to obtain a degree in anthropology must write a thesis on the primitive customs of a tribe. She settles on a "tribe' of Gypsies in NYC and that was the stretch that stopped the show from becoming a hit and a shame it is to anyone who hears the delightful score. The cd is now out of print but worthwhile for theatre buffs if it becomes available again but unfortunatly the fiery dancing of Ms Rivera (on the numbers 'The Haggle' 'Mean' 'Bajour' and 'The Sew-up' the last not on the cd because it is a dance number only)can't be appreciated.

5 out of 5 stars BAJOUR is a winner, maybe for all the wrong reasons........2004-10-31

First I had the piano score, then I had to get the vinyl, and then, thank goodness, the CD came out to preserve this relic of a simpler and more innocent time in musical theatre history. BAJOUR had a short life back in the days when a Broadway season had lots of shows to choose from and budgets weren't sky-high. So, what's the deal with this one? Well, listen to "Guarantees" and "Words, Words, Words," for starters. Just terrible....but in such a wonderful, Broadway sort of way, that you have to listen to the entire show. Then there's "Love Line," which as a piano solo is very pretty. And "Honest Man," a good, old-fashioned Broadway "show stopping" number. MY FAIR LADY it ain't, but good-bad Broadway it is, with Chita Rivera, Herschel Bernardi, et al, belting 'em out in the type of show that, alas, doesn't come along very often, but, in the 60's did, more often than not. (By the way, if you want another show that fits in this particular good-bad 60's mold, try I HAD A BALL, with Buddy Hackett and Richard Kiley.)

4 out of 5 stars A very nice score........2003-01-20

The CD of Bajour is the perfect example of a "nice" Broadway show: Plesant score with a few nice songs such as "Words, Words, Words" and "Where is the Tribe for Me", but nothing groundbreaking or remarkable about it. Great performance by Chita Rivera, Nancy Dussault and, Herschel Bernardi also help. A good CD for Broadway fans.

4 out of 5 stars THE perfect example of the minor broadway musical.......2000-01-26

a generation ago -- or two -- the broadway musical season would usually produce one blockbuster, several flops, and 2 or 3 "nice shows" that would play to theatre parties and tourists and show queens, and then after six months to a year, close at a modest profit or a modest loss.

BAJOUR is a classic of this type of show. it is replete with almost hilarious comedy songs, and almost lovely ballads. its ambitions were modest, but it accomplished them 100%. and there are some great performances here by broadway legend chita rivera, and the sadly ignored and underrated nancy dussault.

if you expect every show to be MY FAIR LADY, this album is not for you. but if you want to spend a thoroughly enjoyable hour listening to what the broadway musical once was, you cannot do better than BAJOUR!

3 out of 5 stars Catchy tunes with two star turns........1998-11-23

Chita Rivera and Nancy Dussault are the stars of this show. The score isn't wonderful, but there are plenty of tunes to keep you humming. Two songs, "Mean" and "I Can," demonstrate why Ms Rivera has been a plus for any musical production

5 out of 5 stars Simply Excellent!!.......2007-01-10

Very uptempo offering from Simply Red, especially the first two tracks: "Spirit of Life", and "Ain't That Alot of Love". Followed by one of the most powerful metaphors regarding drug addiction that I've ever heard in "The Sky is a Gypsy". As well, Mick Hucknall can't resist adding a bit of his transendental theology in a beautiful piece regarding the Universe as God, something he seemed to first elucidate on in the 1997 release Life. Thankfully, he hasn't lost his sense of social justice as is evident in a powerful piece titled "Man Made the Gun." All in all yet another substantial selection of the lyrical - melodic genius that we have come to expect from Simply Red.

4 out of 5 stars Not his best, but it is great........2005-12-31

A few weak songs, but some real heavies in there like "Thank You". I rate this one as the 4th best of Red's stuff. Life, Stars, Blue, then this one. I know that a lot of purests will call me names because they like the earlier stuff, but I feel they fall that way. Buy this one - can't go wrong.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant Simply Red.......2004-11-28

My wife and I love this album. A great mix of songs with lovely singing.
A great late night or driving Album
Superb effort!

2 out of 5 stars Dissapointing.......2003-01-13

My first contact into SR's music was with "Stars". It was a great album, and i loved the fact they composed real great R&B songs without giving up too much to electronica and giving some room for experimentation. Though i basically don't know their older albums, SR was a band worth listening and following. That is why i bought "Russian Winter"... and what a dissapointment.

The cd is basically plain, dull and with no feeling. Joyness is not Hucknall's business, and the songs sound fake, with no feeling, or with emotions being stretched. Do not buy it. You won't regret it.

THIS IS THE WORST C.D. I HAD EVER BOUGHT. HARD TO BELIEVE IT IS SIMPLY RED. MICK? WHAT HAPPENED? BLASE' ....

5 out of 5 stars Some of the best--live.......2004-04-21

Hard to believe there are no other reviews of this CD collection. It includes some of Holly Near (and others') classic women's music, some of it modified, some recorded live. If you've ever had the pleasure of seeing Holly perform (or maybe particularly if you haven't), this CD set is like sitting at a concert with your eyes closed. Really a great set.
