5.0 out of 5 stars Great! More fun than the originals!, November 30, 2002

Slinky, jazzy and playfully understated, harpist Lorin Grean gives her distinctive take on famous classic rock and folk numbers. Included are arrangements of "Can't Find My Way Home" (Steve Winwood), "Eleanor Rigby" (The Beatles), "She's Not There" (Rod Argent), "Big Yellow Taxi" (aka. "They Paved Paradise and Put Up a Parking Lot")(Joni Mitchell), "Every Breath You Take" (Sting), and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (U2). Grean's quiet renditions and intimate vocals truly bring the words of these songs to life, rather than overshadowing them with shouting, drumming or loud electric guitars. Delicate harp riffs and improvisations fill in the familiar harmonic structure of each selection, taking it from "same-old-same-old-heard-it-a-thousand-times-before" status to new and intricately beautiful. Lorin Grean's equally appealing original compositions can be heard on her other release, "Hand Woven".

Spinning Gold is one of those recordings you could listen to time after time. It is a compilation of lovely songs that are familiar yet done in a different style that is most pleasing to listen to. They are like old friends that meet you again in a new way or circumstance. Lorin has a lovely voice and the production of this CD is wonderful!

I was recently introduced to this CD by a friend. What a wonderful surprise to hear such a rich blend of harp and percussion. Lorin Grean's voice has a natural clarity. I have placed this CD in my top 10 World Music collection.
