Sarah Shannon City Morning Song, May 11, 2007
This review is from: City Morning Song (Dig) (Audio CD)
SARAH SHANNON "City Morning Song"
The wonderful almost swing based-even--jazz-based bounce to this collection, is a perfect merge with Sarah's lilting, lively and lovely voice. She has designed the melodies and lyrics to embrace the great range and emotions of her singing: searching, hoping, finding-sometimes rejoicing and loving-but, some do darken "slow down...look around..." then brighten "universe found...along the way." She poetically touches the immense and complicated search of life-the joy and sadness. Her voice can be breathy and urgent, then almost classically soaring, always backed by this wonderful orchestration. The moving chorus: "On and on...On and on!" Well-that's life. What songs and rhythms! Right, the bounce! It makes us "Boomers" want to jitterbug!
