Editorial Reviews

3 albums on 2 CDs - Shelby Flint Sings Folk, Shelby Flint & Cast Your Fate To The Wind. When we heard Shelby's two hits, Angel on My Shoulder and Cast Your Fate To The Wind, we were captivated. Here we have, all three of her albums on the Valiant label (with duplicate tracks eliminated) for a total of 33 folk/pop/jazz perfections! The notes include an interview with the lady herself. Collectors' Choice Music exclusive!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, pure voice, September 5, 2005

This review is from: Shelby Flint/Shelby Flint Sings Folk/Cast Your Fate to the Wind (Audio CD)

A wonderful singer from the sixties. Her voice is pure as Baez, but has a better range. My only criticism is that the backup music in some of the songs is unnecessary and detracts from her performance. All she needs is a guitar.

4.0 out of 5 stars Totally Pure...., December 20, 2005

This review is from: Shelby Flint/Shelby Flint Sings Folk/Cast Your Fate to the Wind (Audio CD)

Shelby has a voice much like Alison Krauss in the sense that you will NEVER hear such a smooth voice with such a beautiful sound. While these albums do sound dated compared to the other folk stuff that was being released around the time, they make a great snapshot of a time and place when this music was totally accepted. "Angel On My Shoulder", which made the top 30, is about as sweet and mellow as you can ask for, but it has an innocence which you won't find anywhere else.

The other highlight for me is the version that Shelby presents of "Cast Your Fate To The Wind". It starts out nice and soft, but once the brass kicks in, it soars off the edge and into the horizon. Absolutely fantastic.

This review is from: Shelby Flint/Shelby Flint Sings Folk/Cast Your Fate to the Wind (Audio CD)

...This compilation is great for all the pre-teens from the early sixties ... those of us that only used the natural drugs of life and love. Brings back lots of memories ... the welcome warmth of her voice is reassuring...Great memories...
