Jamie deRoy IS the Queen of Cabaret and the entire cabaret/Broadway community can thank her for this terrific CD. It's about time! After 10 years of Jamie deRoy & friends shows it's great to have these folks to listen to whenever I want to do so. I hope Jamie doesn't wait too long to bring forth another great production. If the stars are smart they'll all want to line up and join her in the studio to make some cabaret history for this century -- BRAVO Ms. deRoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars With friends like these..., January 3, 2000

I bought this CD for the names that I knew: Kathie Lee Gifford, Karen Mason and Liz Calloway and because I liked the idea of a CD of songs that take you back to your childhood. The performers I knew were wonderful,however, it's the unknowns - but not for long - that make this a very listenable CD. Favorites were Zina Goldrich and Marcy Heisler, Eric Hansen and Jamie deRoy with The Accidentals.

This review is from: Child in Me 1 (Audio CD)

A friend of mine has this CD in her collection. I initially wrote it off as just another "feelgood" collection of hits. BOY, was I WRONG! Just a few weeks later I was at a party, and the DJ was playing Hammerheart's "Shores in Flames" (my wife and I like to slow dance to that tune). The song ended, and the next tune played started out methodically, but rose to a steady paced beat. A woman's voice, possessed with a seething undercut melodic haunt, began singing lyrics filled with deceptive resentment towards our society. Some of us on the dance floor starting rocking our heads ala Rick James, and when this beautiful voice disgorged the angry lyrics "I've got to recapture/the truth I unlearned," we all did something we have not done for at least five years; we started a moshpit, our piqued dance building and swaying in Guajardian ecstacy! I don't think I had moshed since the last time I saw Pearl Jam in concert! AND THEN..... I learned that the woman who sang this brilliant ode to insurrection, a theme with the subliminal message declaring all races and ethnicity equal, a song damning the capitalist dictators who hurt the children within us, this woman is...KATHIE LEE GIFFORD! I borrowed the CD from my friend the following day, and this CD is SOLID musical bliss. The tune "One of a Kind" by Eric Michael Gillet is an intriguing departure from the themes of some of the other songs, and it brought back warm memories of music we played during my teen years. When I heard the lines "One of a kind/is a wonderful thing to be," it brought back memories of those down home Autumn holidays when Dad would be preparing Thanksgiving dinner, I tending to my Precious Moments figurines, my sister chainsawing huge ice sculptures of folks like Jack Kerouac and Charles Nelson Reilly, and Mom tending to our exotic bird and echidna preserve. If you grew up in a traditional American upbringing like my own, these songs will bring you back to that comfortable time of reassurance and inspiration. If you feel surging anger towards an aristocracy disguised as homogenized splendour, this album will release your pent up aggression in healthy and harmless way!
