In interesting group I came across in my e-music subscription is "The Free Design." Its easy flow music reminiscent of Sergio Mendez and the Brazil 66. There are some baroque harmonies in it as well. The group is recorded many "covers" of other famous musicians which is nice since you know the melody already. Two albums landed on my desktop, The Best of The Free Design and You could be Born Again. I think that they are best known in the day for the soft so very soft song "Kites are Fun." Enjoy the adventure of some new songs.
Judy Collins has an album out called 24 classic songs that is right up there too. Its full of covers and classic folk themes. I like the South Pacific song, Younger than Spring time. Mom and Dad bought me some singing lessons from the Junior High vocal teacher when I was in 8th grade. This was one of the songs she taught me vocal techniques. This album also has a song from Pal Joey, "Bewitched." "Both Sides Now," is on this album. There are also some classic Dylan songs here too.
I am also impressed by the shear vocal power of Judy Collins in the Album "An American Girl." The first track, "The Wedding Song for Louis" has some fabulous orchestration and sound effects. The tag line is "Love can do anything, Love can change the World." There it goes. Pat Brown the romantic once more!
I am also liking the "Out of the Blues" Album by Rita Coolidge. This has the folk legend into a really cool blues salty chanteuse. One of my favorites is "Black Coffee."The whole album is pretty solid torch singer blues. There is some style that is often missing in contemporary music.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Love Pat
