For All of You Christine Lavin Fans...,

This review is from: Buy Me Bring Me Take Me Don't Mess My Hair 2 (Audio CD)
I bought this CD because I have enjoyed Christine Lavin ever since I heard her song, "Planet X," about astronomer Clyde Tombaugh and Pluto. It was funny, witty, and insightful. Here is a person who knows and cares something about planetary astronomy! I have also liked "Four Bitchin' Babes" since my wife bought me one of their CDs. This CD combines the best of both, Christine Lavin as one of the "Four Bitchin Babes." I like the humerous songs best. "Bald Headed Men" is a tribute all those so challenged, singing the praises of the likes of Yul Brenner, Patrick Stewart, and Michael Jordan. "Butter" is an ode to fattening foods of bygone times. Other cuts are not quite so memorable, but the album is always entertaining.

Songs that stay with you!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Buy Me Bring Me Take Me Don't Mess My Hair 2 (Audio CD)
I could listen to this album a hundred times (in fact, I probably have!). I originally bought the tape and, when I finally got a CD player, had to get the CD too. Songs on this CD, like "As Close to Flying" and "Graceful Man" stick in your head. I've even caught myself humming "Oh Great Spirit" to myself from time to time. "Bald-headed Men", "Butter", and "(Fun to Be) Perfect" are good, comical foils to the more serious songs on the CD. It's a must-have for any collection.

The version of "Sealed With A Kiss" is worth the price alone. The original version is fabulous, but the Babes' version will absolutely blow you away. Lavin's guitar releases the true emotion the song was meant to have and is litterally stunning as you are stopped dead in your tracks and drawn in. It's unfortunate the song sample offered here does not highlight that guitar work...just a hint. I listen to this song over and over. It really draws you in and keeps you there. Certainly not the feel of the rest of the CD. Out of place? Maybe, but a good song is a good song no matter where it is or what style it's in. This piece is incredible.Most of the other songs are comical and fun. Like "Sealed With A Kiss," Julie Gold's "From A Distance" is an exception. It's always nice to hear a songwriter perform their own songs. They always have more of a personal feel. Very nice CD.
