"A Long and Winding Road" - Well worth the journey!,
By
This review is from: A Long and Winding Road (Audio CD)
Although I am surprised that I am the first to write a review, I want to take this opportunity to encourage Maureen's fans old and new to invest in a copy or two of the new album "A Long and Winding Road." Some songs are more familiar than others. All songs are just delightful! Maureen does a wonderful job of paying tribute to music that was formational for her and for I'm sure, many of us. The arrangements by Jeff Harris honor the originals yet allow Maureen to put her personal touch on them. Maureen has once again used her beautiful instrument to interpret these songs in a way that breaths new life into the lyrics. Her skill with these songs allows the listener to hear them afresh and walk away with a new sense of their meaning. This is not an album filled with contemporary vocal gymnastics. Rather, it's an album filled with strong, clear and great singing. Because these songs date back to when Maureen first began her career, I am struck by the fact that after all these years, the voice of a young Maureen can be heard while the maturity of her years of experience allow for wonderful shading. It's been a long time since we fans were treated to a full studio album. It was worth the wait. Thank you Maureen!

Good effort by McGovern,

This review is from: A Long and Winding Road (Audio CD)
You have to start with the concept that whatever Maureen McGovern does, she does very well. And this CD is no exception. While I'm not crazy about some of the selections, I will say that this is the first time I've really listened to all the lyrics to "The Times They Are a-Changin'." I'm a generation removed from Bob Dylan and never understood his lyrics nor his popularity, so it's enjoyable to finally "get" these lyrics. McGovern's strong, commanding yet lyrical voice is such a pleasure to hear.
