Every Little Word

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Hal Ketchum is one of those Texas singer/storytellers like Jerry Jeff Walker, Townes Van Zandt and Lyle Lovett who can make you hang on every line no matter how dry and sandy his voice is. Ketchum's fourth album, "Every Little Word," is no different; it's full of sharply etched stories about men lost on the street and down the road and looking for a woman to lead them back home. "Every Little Word" is Ketchum's best album not because the words are any different but because the music is.

Ketchum is finally learning how to sing. His voice is a modest instrument, but on this new recording he sounds much more relaxed. For example, the album's title tune explains that true love isn't simply a matter of saying, "I love you, baby"; it's an excitement and commitment that can be heard in "Every Little Word" one love says to another. You can hear just what the lyrics are trying to describe in Ketchum's vocal. There's no strain in his throat as he opens up and simply lets the warbling notes spill out. When he sings about his wife "in the kitchen singin' like a bird," there's a chirping giddiness in his singing, too. --Geoffrey Himes

5 out of 5 stars The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

4 out of 5 stars It's more than just I love you, baby, it's every little word.......2001-10-13

Hal Ketchum kick-starts his third album with the single release of "(Tonight We Just Might) Fall In Love Again," an uptempo two-stepper that creates excitement from the start. "Walk Away" and "Veil Of Tears" spice up the CD with their fancy guitar work. "Stay Forever" is the best song on the CD and will probably be his most memorable. "Another Day Gone" features Patty Loveless on harmony vocals, and "Swing Low" is a tender story of a homeless woman. I didn't enjoy this CD as much as his other two, but it's still worth listening to. If you have a chance to see Ketchum in concert, it is a show not to be missed. Until then, order a copy of this CD.

5 out of 5 stars still a favorite of mine.......2000-09-19

I've been a Hal Ketchum fan for years...loved Past the Point of Rescue, Small Town Saturday Night, Sure Love...but really loved this CD the best. Hal's music always speaks to me. He's able to conjure up mental pictures and the feelings that go with these pictures, with the songs he writes and sings. I love the honesty and poignancy of this CD.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT music!!!.......1999-05-04

I recently attended a concert by Hal in which he sang most of the songs on this CD, plus some of his other big hits, most notably "Stay Forever." He and his band were absolutely fabulous! I can't wait till he comes this direction as I will definitely see him again. This CD taps into all emotions - happiness, sadness, longing, joy. For a great CD to play while driving down the highway, this is NOT to be missed!

5 out of 5 stars Mellow and Haunting..........1998-06-12

I love Hal Ketchum and this CD just proves what a talent he is! The best songs on this CD were never released as singles. The beautiful haunting "Swing Low", a song about a homeless woman and her child and "Veil of Tears", about the death march of Native Americans shows what depth he possesses not only as a singer, but also as a writer. He'll never be a "super star" but if you like beautiful, thoughtful music then Hal's the one.

Amazon.com

This 11-CD set, one might say jokingly, contains all the music ever written for the soprano voice and a bit for mezzo as well. And indeed, it's a staggering collection: In addition to her great Verdi heroines (the two Leonoras, Aida, Amelia, and Elvira in Ernani), Price is heard in her Puccini roles--Manon Lescaut, Butterfly, Tosca--and at least two dozen other roles, most of which she never sang on stage. Here are her heroic, secure Leonore in Fidelio, Strauss's high-flying Egyptian Helen, Purcell's Dido, Barber's Cleopatra, Bellini's Norma, Ariadne, Verdi's Violetta and Desdemona, Bizet's Carmen, Mozart's Countess, and Fiordiligi. Some are, naturally, more successful than others; almost none are embarrassing (Carmen comes close). In addition, she sings songs by Schubert, Schumann, and Strauss--none of them as well as say, Janet Baker or Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, and Barber's Knoxville, etc.--quite beautifully. Berlioz's Les Nuits d'été is not very good, but a group of spirituals is. In all, however, this is an amazing display by one of the century's greatest sopranos. There may be no new depths plumbed here, but the singing is a knockout. --Robert Levine

This compilation of Ms. Price's career is almost as complete as anything I've ever come across!!
An American Icon....I will forever be a loyal fan and admirer!!

5 out of 5 stars Her Best Album.......2006-01-01

Along with the equally extensive "Prima Donna Collection" this is Leontyne Price's best album. Anyone who wants to become familiarized with her vocal technique and her art on record should own this album. It features her best work ever recorded. A lot of these arias and their respective soprano roles were not roles she sang on stage. Leontyne Price was not only a consummate artist, but a cautious one. The reason these arias, Lieder, Gospel and spirituals sound so beautiful and technically brilliant is because Leontyne was smart enough to sing them infrequently and in concert form. She did not take on new roles other than her repetitive Aidas, Leonoras, Butterfly, Toscas and Madame Lidoins, etc, because she was afraid of ruining her glorious voice too soon as many of her contemporary sopranos. Like soprano Zinka Milanov, Leontyne Price preserved the freshness and vitality of her voice through "operatic abstinence". Thus, the Norma, Salome, Manon, Lady Macbeth and even Traviata we hear on this album are well-rendered because she did NOT sing them on stage. She would have worn out her beautiful voice if she sung so many roles.

This collection is overwhelming. Leontyne Price proves herself to be a masterful artist of diverse repertoire. Pity she didn't really sing these on stage because she would have put Maria Callas and all the reigning divas before and after her to shame. Listen to her remarkable, unsurpassed Mozart repertoire. This she did sing in opera houses, probably because Mozart does not require a true lyrico-spinto heavyness and smaller opera houses can accomodate Mozartian voices that do not often rise above the staff/orchestra. She sang exquisite Fiordiligis at the Met. The arias from Cosi Fan Tutte here - Soave sia il vento, O Guarda Sorelle and the fiendishly difficult vocal showcase "Come Scoglio" with its vertiginious scales are all fine samples of Miss Price's artistry. She sang Susanna and Donna Anna with beauty and bravura. The Salome excerpt is quite thrilling. She would have made a terrific Salome but the role is quite difficult and it would have surely killed her voice. Leontyne Price was the number one Verdi soprano. Every opera cognoscente will tell you that. When you hear the excerpts from Verdi operas here - Lady Macbeth's Sleepwalking Scene, Aida's arias, Leonora's arias from Trovatore and Leonora's arias from Forza Del Destino, particularly La Virgine Del Angeli and the ravishing Pace Pace Mio Dio- are the best renditions of Verdi soprano singing. Anyone who wants to study how to sing in the letter-to-letter Verdi lyrico spinto style should hear these arias. A voice like Leontyne cannot be easily imitated. Maria Callas's own voice can be imitated as Romanian diva Angela Gheorghiu has proven. Leontyne was in a class of her own, a voice that is both dramatic and beautiful to hear. However, most people find fault in her lack of dramatic interpretation. I say they're not hearing hard enough. Yes, there is excessive beauty in her singing but she understood that the opera heroines should sound beautiful because they are beautiful and though I never saw her on stage, from the recordings I hear she sounds dramatic and character-driven enough for me to be satisfied. For a devoted fan of Leontyne Price, this album is the Holy Grail. She sings the most beautiful Norma, Madame Butterfly, Tosca, Aida, Violetta, Madame Lidoin, Suor Angelica, Susanna, Dona Ana, Gilda, Fiordiligi, Desdemona and countless other heroines. The last cd is a collection of Gospel, spirituals and patriotic songs. These "American", non-opera selections find her in beautiful voice and she is actually paying tribute to her roots. She was not only African-American, but a Southerner from Mississippi. Her voice must have been heavenly to hear in Church! This is the album that made me love Leontyne.

5 out of 5 stars Price At Her Peak.......2005-05-02

Originally a Gospel singer, Leontyne Price rose to the heights of operatic superstardom in the 60's and 70's. She enjoyed the same success Maria Callas did in the 50's. Although Callas will forever be most people's idea of the greatest soprano of the 20th century, Leontyne Price was not a force to be reckoned with. In my opinion, and this is just me, she outshone Callas and was the greater singer as far as techinicality and musicianship. Leontyne Price's best work is recorded in this album. It is her best album, together with the Prima Donna Collection. The price is expensive but it's worth every penny. Prepare to be riveted and blown away by the dynamic strength and passion of her voice as it blasts through yours stereo. While many often point out that Leontyne Price was not much of an actress, from a purely operatic/vocal level, her voice was faultless and virtuosic, powerful, passionate, beautiful, lyrical, soulful. Never have I heard a soprano so richly endowed with strong chest register- she could sing the low octaves that are found in the roles of mezzo-soprano voices or contralto voices. But she was a dramatic soprano and that's dramatic with a capital D- all the high C's were there, perfectly in place, and she was a thrilling singer when reaching for the stratosphere with her voice.

This album contains arias from operas that I didn't even know she performed- La Traviata (yes, Leontyne Price as Violetta is a moving and powerful interpretation, executed with sublime beauty. She finds herself the equal to Callas in the role- for Callas had a big voice for a role that calls for the "dying" effect. Thus, Price, like Callas, could sing roles that call for beauty and not just dramatic vigor. It's unfortunate that unlike the stars that were rising in her time- Joan Sutherland, Beverly Sills and Montserrat Caballe- Price never mastered the bel canto repertoire - Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini (although she sang a sensational Norma, excerpts are found in this recording). But her strongest suit was Verdi. She had the voice Verdi was looking for in a soprano- rich, dramatic, beautiful, able to fill up the lines with smoky and velvety hues and a gleaming high top. Check out her Amelia in Un Ballo In Maschera, her Leonora in Trovatore, her Leonora in La Forza Del Destino. Of course, her greatest role, her signature role, and one which she connected with on a personal/ancestral level was that of Aida. The first selections in this recording are from that masterpiece. As Aida, she was at her best. It was easy for her somehow, when most other sopranos tackle the role with difficulty. She conveys grace, nobility, passion and spirituality in the role of the tragic Ethiopian princess.

Further roles she excelled in that are on this recording is Desdemona in Otello, which she sung opposite Placido Domingo. Their masterful voices blend together harmonically and gloriously in the Act 1 Love Duet. She's quite the ground-breaking artist. Most Violettas in Traviata or Desdemona in Otello are Caucasian lyric soprano (Desdemona was white, Otello was black, that was Shakespeare's intention) but in opera, race does not matter and Leontyne Price's voice made her a star in a time when it was incredibly difficult for a black woman to sing opera. From the start of the century, opera was always associated with white Europeans and later on Americans. But Leontyne Price followed the inspirational example of the gutsy contralto Marian Anderson, who suffered a lot of rejection in opera due to skin color in pre-Civil Rights Movement 30's, 40's and 50's. Finally in the late 50's, Anderson, after a lifetime of singing only in private concerts and recitals, debuted at the Met as Ulrica in Un Ballo. Leontyne Price immediately picked up where she left- singing all the soprano diva roles typically associated with white singers - especially Tosca. Her Tosca is second to her Aida. As Tosca, she encompasses the diva who dies for love in the most thrilling way.

Other than Tosca, Puccini heroines were just as magnificent vehicles for her voice. She sang Madame Butterfly to great acclaim. I dont know how she did it but she suddenly ceased to be herself and became the frail, naive, lovesick Japanese Geisha. Softness and fragility is also mixed with the maturity of a woman in love, with passion and dramatic vocal color. She sang La Rondine with equal success, though this role is more along the lines of Violetta/Traviata. She sang Suor Angelica, she sang in modern works such as Barber's Antony and Cleopatra- in that infamous Zefferelli production- she sang Gershwin's Porgy and Bess, she sang in Dialoge of the Carmelites. All these are on here, along with her Baroque specialties- Dido in Dido and Aeneas. Her Mozart voice is also the best I've heard, really, even with a more dramatic and beautiful charm than other singers I've heard. She sang the acrobatic role of Fiordiligi in Cosi Fan Tutte, both Dona Ana and Donva Elvira in Don Giovanni. I prefer her as Dona Ana, she is all fire, despair, intensity and repressed desire, but she sings a hysterical and lovesick Elvira with a passion as well. She even sang the Countess in Le Nozze Di Figaro. But the sky was the limit to Price. She even sang, in a Jessie Norman way, the Wagner role of Isolde. Her "Liebestod" is the greatest I've heard since Birgit Nilsson, with a passion that stemmed from her religious Gospel heart.
This is a great album and I recommend it to any fan of Price and any fan of opera in general. If you have never heard Price and want to start somewhere, start with this one. This one or the Prima Donna Collection.

5 out of 5 stars of course world class.......2000-08-14

Price is amazing. I will have to also mention that Joan Sutherland in the 1960 is even more incredible, if that's possible. Check Dame Joan out, you will not be sorry. But Price is a D flawless diamond set by Cartier, in my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars the greatest american soprano of the 20th century.......1999-12-12

This collection of arias, art songs, and spirituals is truly amazing for the sheer breadth and depth of this soprano's artistry. It is hard to imagine any Verdi soprano after Ms. Price who could offer us the smoky richness of her vocal color, and there are so many wonderful selections, many of them being roles she did not perform on stage. Among my personal favorites are her scene from Dialogues of the Carmelites, the Letter Scene from Eugene Onegin, and the drama of her Lady Macbeth. For those of us who heard Ms. Price over the years in opera and concert, this collection brings back wonderful memories...It is truly a must-have for any serious opera lover.

        Hal Ketchum is one of those Texas singer/storytellers like Jerry Jeff Walker, Townes Van Zandt and Lyle Lovett who can make you hang on every line no matter how dry and sandy his voice is. Ketchum's fourth album, "Every Little Word," is no different; it's full of sharply etched stories about men lost on the street and down the road and looking for a woman to lead them back home. "Every Little Word" is Ketchum's best album not because the words are any different but because the music is.

        Ketchum is finally learning how to sing. His voice is a modest instrument, but on this new recording he sounds much more relaxed. For example, the album's title tune explains that true love isn't simply a matter of saying, "I love you, baby"; it's an excitement and commitment that can be heard in "Every Little Word" one love says to another. You can hear just what the lyrics are trying to describe in Ketchum's vocal. There's no strain in his throat as he opens up and simply lets the warbling notes spill out. When he sings about his wife "in the kitchen singin' like a bird," there's a chirping giddiness in his singing, too. --Geoffrey Himes

        4 out of 5 stars It's more than just I love you, baby, it's every little word.......2001-10-13

        Hal Ketchum kick-starts his third album with the single release of "(Tonight We Just Might) Fall In Love Again," an uptempo two-stepper that creates excitement from the start. "Walk Away" and "Veil Of Tears" spice up the CD with their fancy guitar work. "Stay Forever" is the best song on the CD and will probably be his most memorable. "Another Day Gone" features Patty Loveless on harmony vocals, and "Swing Low" is a tender story of a homeless woman. I didn't enjoy this CD as much as his other two, but it's still worth listening to. If you have a chance to see Ketchum in concert, it is a show not to be missed. Until then, order a copy of this CD.

        5 out of 5 stars still a favorite of mine.......2000-09-19

        I've been a Hal Ketchum fan for years...loved Past the Point of Rescue, Small Town Saturday Night, Sure Love...but really loved this CD the best. Hal's music always speaks to me. He's able to conjure up mental pictures and the feelings that go with these pictures, with the songs he writes and sings. I love the honesty and poignancy of this CD.

        5 out of 5 stars GREAT music!!!.......1999-05-04

        I recently attended a concert by Hal in which he sang most of the songs on this CD, plus some of his other big hits, most notably "Stay Forever." He and his band were absolutely fabulous! I can't wait till he comes this direction as I will definitely see him again. This CD taps into all emotions - happiness, sadness, longing, joy. For a great CD to play while driving down the highway, this is NOT to be missed!

        5 out of 5 stars Mellow and Haunting..........1998-06-12

        I love Hal Ketchum and this CD just proves what a talent he is! The best songs on this CD were never released as singles. The beautiful haunting "Swing Low", a song about a homeless woman and her child and "Veil of Tears", about the death march of Native Americans shows what depth he possesses not only as a singer, but also as a writer. He'll never be a "super star" but if you like beautiful, thoughtful music then Hal's the one.
