Interesting collection of songs!, March 1, 2003
This review is from: My Favorite Sings (Audio CD)
I've been a fan of Kathy's music for year so I can't claim to be unbiased, but this is a really good collection of songs. Merlin is fantastic and gives me shivers, Dirty Movie makes me laugh, Word of God is a really interesting look at science v. religion, but the song that really stands out to me on this collection is "Child's Song" - every time I hear Kathy sing it I cry. Let me assure you, songs on CD don't usually make me do more than sniffle a little but this one makes me cry. Kathy brings such passion to this particular song. While you're at it give her other albums a try too!

Great songs well chosen and brilliantly performed!, August 19, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: My Favorite Sings (Audio CD)
Kathy Mar has been singing all her life, and this has got to be her best album yet. Her voice effortlessly encompasses a whole range of moods and styles, from blues to folk to jazz and back again. There are songs here to chill you, to make you laugh, to make you think and to make you cry. The musical performances are excellent, the production and arrangements faultless, and the words are so clear you don't even need a lyric sheet. Buy this CD. You won't regret it.

A masterful filk album, beautifully sung, October 3, 2002
This review is from: My Favorite Sings (Audio CD)
I had the pleasure and privilege of listening to Ms. Mar sing a lot of these songs at a SF convention...and ran _right_ straight to the huckster's room to buy the album! Her voice is lovely and her songs are, too. They range in subject from traditional "folk" stuff to modern folk to "filk" (SF-related folksongs) and are always worth listening to.

Wonderful! Wonderful!!, September 29, 1999
This review is from: My Favorite Sings (Audio CD)
I've seen Kathy Mar develop as a singer over the past 15 years, beginning with her album "Songbird." She's really outdone herself with this one.

Decent folk by a hard-line filker, September 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: My Favorite Sings (Audio CD)
Kathy Mar has surrounded herself with a bunch of good musicians and a bunch of good songs. Her voice is pleasant enough, if nothing to write home about. This is a nice combination of folk and "filk" (science-fiction themed) tunes from writers as well known as Steve Goodman and Christine Lavin to people with purported "names" like "Countess Axylides" and "Zander Nyrond." I think the line for the comet forms over there... A highlight for me is her nice take on Murray McLaughlin's "Child's Song," which never fails to bring tears to the eyes no matter who's singing it. Nice, clean production.Give it a try!
