5.0 out of 5 stars songs of experience, February 20, 1999

i bought this last night and i'm on the fourth listen! impeccable crafting of songs and a voice as smoking and experienced in tone as the later day voices of bobby Dylan and joni Mitchell and nina Simone and Billy Holliday and marianne faithful. a fully felt and unpretentious music with excellent punch and clarity. BUY IT!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning record, June 19, 1999

This is the art of singing at its best. From the Dead to obscure 40's songs to Richard Thompson to a Methodist hymn - what a range! Each one a nugget of a different kind. And all this from the grande dame of pure finger-in-yer-ear english folk! That's musical daring for you! If they gave a prize for successful audacity, Norma would win hands down. I bought this when it first came out and was stunned by it. Can't wait for her new one to be available here (already out in the UK).

5.0 out of 5 stars The very thought of you, March 23, 2000

By

There is little to add to the ecstatic reviews already listed about Norma's first CD. It is only surpassed by the latest CD in the UK "The very thought of you" - more confidence - same main players. Songs from Queen through Richard Thompson to a heart stopping version of Nick Drake's River Man. The blend on paper again is startling but sounds so right. I suggest all american readers rush to the amazon.co.uk site!
