Customer Reviews:

One of my very favorite cds, this one is a must have.......2003-11-22

This cd is wonderful. As a reviewer already said, but is really true there isn't a bad song on this collection. Laura's bass playing is incredible, her vocal style unique and wonderful, and her songs are well thought out, catchy and iintelligent I would recommend to anyone considering this cd to get it. I could be here all day and still not say enough about Laura's music, and this cd in particular.

Afro-celtic at its best.......2000-08-28

What exactly is afro-celtic, you ask? Buy the CD and find out. I also dig Laura's yodeling - she puts the "yo" in yodel. I first heard Laura play the Chico World Music festival, then listened to this CD all summer and never got tired of it. I now own it as a sort of "momento" of that summer, but the songs are still fresh and lively as ever. A good, wholesome rockin' CD for kids and adults alike. Support a great artist and buy this CD! The liner notes also include an interesting history of her life (written by Laura herself), which makes you appreciate even more her talent and her accomplishments, despite the serious hardships in her life.

Shum Ticky.......2000-06-13

Everyone who hears this CD at our house or while we are traveling, just raves about it. There is not a single "bad" song on it - they are all absolute keepers. Laura Love's voice and style are unique and her guitar playing is terrific. Her vocal range is wide and singing style eclectic. All the other vocals melded wonderfully on each song. My granddaughter loves the CD and would play it constantly if I'd let her! I'm looking forward to hearing Laura's other CDs.

(Pass on to Laura if cant' put in review.) Laura if you're checking these reviews - thanks for being so kind to the "daughter of my heart" after one of your gigs with WVPR's Mountain Stage. You may recall she was severely burned. She didn't take the CD you signed for her back to Bolivia because no one she knows has a CD player, but we got her a tape and she says everyone there really likes it even if they can't understand the words! She made me take a picture of her with the CD so she would always remember you. She said that you treated her just like a regular kid and looked at her like she was pretty. It may seem like a little thing, but it was so important to her. Mucho gracias. God bless.

A unique and intriguing album.......1998-07-14

Blues, yodeling, celtic influences and thought-provoking lyrics - Laura Love is a wonderfully talented artist and this is one great album.

Positive review.......1998-05-02

Laura Love is absolutely the most interesting new artist I've heard in years and this collection is a great intro. The music moves, the lyrics are thoughtful, the voice is fantastic (I don't think anyone else could turn a yodel into a moving experience!). All I can say is MORE, MORE, MORE.

Graceful music.......2005-09-27

The lute is a string instrument with a fretted neck and a deep, round back. In many ways, it is related to later similar instructments such as the guitar and banjo. It descends from a Middle Eastern instrument similar to the oud. The lute was one of the major musical instruments of the Middle Ages, and much music was composed for the lute, both as a stand-alone instrument as well as an accompaniment for singers.

This disc has some samples of both. Some songs are anonymous compositions, often derivative of much older folk tunes. Others are original compositions whose composers are known by name. Among these names are John Dowland, Thomas Morley, Alfonso Ferrabosco, Michael Cavendish, Thomas Campion, Nicholas Lanier, and Anthony Holborne, all of the 1500s/1600s. The music here involves both the 8-course lute and the 10-course lute (during the later Baroque time, lutes could have as many as 28 strings!).

The lute was eventually displaced by keyboard and other instruments, so in many ways its life is that of the music of the past. However, with recordings such as these, the lute lives again in vibrant form. Ronn McFarlane learned to play on a cheap steel-string guitar, but continued to study in a rather eclectic fashion, eventually studying at the Shenandoah Conservatory and the Peabody Conservatory prior to settling upon the lute as his primary instrument. In this recording, he is paired with Julianne Baird, a soprano with significant recording experience.

McFarlane and Baird emphasise the simplicity and lightness of the songs here; while some lute music and some folk tunes can be very elaborately arranged, here the performers strive for a more direct elegance. The particular period emphasised is Elizabethean; McFarlane and Baird sound as if they have come directly from the Queen's court directly.

This is a beautiful recording.

Not what I wanted.......2002-02-13

i should have read the description more clearly...this is partially vocal, not all instrumental. Nothimg wrong with the CD, but I only like instrumental.

Greensleeves (Baird/McFarlane).......2000-09-30

Incredible! Stunning musicianship from beginning to end. For fans of Dowland, this recording is a gem. The blend of lute and voice on 'In darkness let me dwell' is downright haunting. This recording is an absolute pleasure. 5 stars just might be an understatement here...
