5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best 50 minutes you'll spend in a long time, May 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Amanda Marshall (Audio CD)

For those of us who have discovered Amanda Marshall, the world is a mellower place - I love this album, which is at different times exuberant, thoughtful, or sad, but never commits the crime of being insincere. I'm glad she didn't try to go the angry-girl way of Alanis Morissette and Fiona Apple - it wouldn't have suited her. If you've only heard the wonderful "Birmingham" you may think this is Amy Grant - though their voices are similar, Marshall is less peppy and more satisfying. This album is definitely worth your while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where are you now Amanda Marshall?, July 6, 2004

There are a few, and I do mean only a few albums (yes, I used the A word), that are perfect. This album is one of them. Every track is both beautiful and moving. It is a three act opera of humanity in 10 songs. Like listening to Shakespear sung. You only have to listen once and you'll be a lifelong fan too. Why don't we hear her songs on the radio everyday? I suppose some record exec doesn't think he can make enough money promoting her.
And that is the part just amazes me; that in this world of Snoop-Doggy-Poop-Dogs and Jessica Simpletons that the talentless hacks are the sucess stories and someone with honest talent goes unpromoted and ignored.
Maybe someday, someone will realize just how really true and clear Amanda's voice is and promote her gifts above these other brainless Bozos...yeah, I guess about the time MTV starts playing music again instead of creating more UN-reality shows.
Where are you now Amanda? Tell us, we'll listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary debut showcases amazing voice, May 26, 2000

I received this album from a friend who thought I'd like it -- neither of us had ever heard of this artist, Amanda Marshall. That was 1998 and only recently did I realize this album was released a couple of years before I got it.

Marshall's voice soars through all the songs. "Birmingham," "Trust Me (This Is Love)," abd "Fall From Grace" stand out. Marshall didn't write most of the songs -- in fact, the only song I don't really care for all that much is the one song Marshall wrote, "Sitting On Top Of The World."

Marshall sounds a bit like Amy Grant or Vonda Shepherd, so if you like either of those artists this album may be for you. You've already heard her sing if you've seen "My Best Friend's Wedding" (I forget which song she did) or "Tin Cup" ("This Could Take All Night").
