5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Music from a Beautiful Person, June 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bittersweet~an American Romance (Audio CD)

Well, if you've heard Al Petteway chances are you've heard Amy White (and visa versa). I got to meet Amy White when she and Al Petteway (with Bonnie Rideout) were in Oregon earlier this year. What a lovely person she is. Certainly, here is a rare blossoming gift that will be making fine music for years to come. Her music has the ability to bring you to one emotive peak to another again and again. Bitter yet sweet, mostly sweet...

5.0 out of 5 stars Evocative music that changes the listener, June 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bittersweet~an American Romance (Audio CD)

The music on this album transports me every time I listen to it. Amy White weaves a tapestry of sound and let's you see beauty of her compositions as well as hear it. This album has an almost magical quality because it allows me to get images in my mind from every piece, and I can place myself in the landscape of the piece. The album touches on timeless themes such as love, loss, freedom, and the spirit of adventure.

My favorite pieces are "Full Circle" because it brings me back to my own memories and "An American Romance" because the end of this piece puts me on a horse galloping across the plains toward a crimson sunsent.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite and out of the ordinary-music for the adventurer, May 31, 1999

Not mundane, boring or repetitive, Amy White has put a neo-classic, jazz spin to the new-age category. "Skirting the Storm" and "Happy-Go-Lucky vs the Undertow" are my two personal favorites and two of the upbeat cuts. The softer, gentle, slow tunes are an invitation to introspection. In addition to the fine quality of the music, the liner notes and photos are beautifully executed and reveal what may be lost when lyrics aren't present to tell you what inspired the composer. This CD is one of my favorites.
