5.0 out of 5 stars Another biased opinion, March 23, 2000

This review is from: Songs for Summer (Audio CD)

I already knew that the person who this CD was made for was an amazing girl, and I knew that the person who made this CD is supercool. But the songs on this CD are FABULOUS, and I hope everyone buys it. Aside from great songs by Jason Falkner and The Jazz Butcher, lesser known bands like Beasley and Sandycoates knocked me out with their beautiful songs. Sooooo good. I'm buying a bunch more to give away to friends. Also, money from the sale of this CD goes to a great charity. Rack up some good karma for yourself!

I am a big Ben Folds Five fan and so I did a search for them on Amazon.com and came across this CD. Not only was the Ben Folds Five song awsome but so was the whole CD. Not only that but I feel great knowing that the proceeds go to charity. Everyone will definitely enjoy this compilation of great music!

5.0 out of 5 stars achingly beautiful, March 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Songs for Summer (Audio CD)

This album is filled with songs that are as achingly beautiful and as frisky and unpredictable as Summer herself. Alternating between upbeat songs like the Frank and Walters' hilarious version of "Funky Cold Medina" or the simply gorgeous "Summer" by Beasley, this record surprises, delights, and makes me think about how much emptier this world is without Summer Brannin. God, she would have loved this compilation.

I highly recommend purchasing this album, if only for its (outstanding) musical merits. The fact that ALL proceeds go to Free Arts for Abused Children makes acquiring it even more important.
