4.0 out of 5 stars Good Variety - Something For Everyone, February 15, 2002

This review is from: A Love Worth Fighting For (Audio CD)

I'll admit it---I bought this CD for Michael Callen's and Cris Williamson's songs alone. But I was pleasantly surprised to find I like all of the music, in particular the selections by Bill McKinley, Ann Reed, The Flirtations, Janis Ian, and Marsha Malamet.

The music is heartfelt and literally feels true. Good voices, decent orchestration, and a feeling of strength throughout. The only thing keeping me from giving this 5 stars is that the tone is a little too much the same throughout, which may be what they were striving for, but I would have liked a couple more songs of wanton, raucous celebration.

One note: When Michael Callen died, a little bit of light went out of the world. His voice is hauntingly brilliant, and if I had to buy all his music one song per CD, I would. :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Talent, Emotion & Understanding, December 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Love Worth Fighting For (Audio CD)

I was so surprised not to see a review for this cd - it is not only a great introduction to the many gay & lesbian singers but also a educational landmark in the people who have fought againt bigotry and ignorance. Stand out tracks for me are "Love Worth Fighting For" - Michael Callen, "Lay Your Burden Down" - Dan Martin, "Sit With Me" - Holly Near and "Jonathan Wesley Oliver Jr" - Lee Lessack. This is a not only a must for anyone coming to terms with their sexuality and looking for support and understanding but also for anyone looking for great lyrics, music and above all faith. I'm sure there should be Volume 2 in the making!

After reading some of the reviews here, I ordered this CD. I am very pleased with it. The songs are moving and inspiring. I had not heard the majority of the music or artists ever before and I listen to this CD daily now and have learned all of the songs. My favorites are Help is on the Way, John Wesley Oliver Jr, Listsen to My Heart and of course the song in the title, Love Worth Fighting For. I highly recommend this CD and look forward to any CD's this group creates in the future.
