5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Native Music, October 26, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: This Child (Audio CD)

I Love this CD and know that Amazon has done the world a great service carrying her music and making it acessable for everyone. I know Susan, and it was her specialness that made me look up her music at amazon. I was shocked to see how famous she is In Canada as this woman is so gentle and kind and warm and down to earth as a person, and has done remarkable things besides singing and recording... shes a great blessing! I hope she keeps recording forever. Enjoy! This is a good gift CD too, and good for children to listen to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, July 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: This Child (Audio CD)

Aglukark is an absolutely wonderful singer and songwriter and this is a beautiful showcase of her talents. There's not even a smidgen of crass commercialism to be found (although this album was certified double platinum). Rather, Aglukark bridges her two worlds effortlessly and beguilingly. Bewarned, several of the tracks on this CD are rather depressing, but I can't even find fault with this. There is honesty and courage in Aglukark's sad songs, not sappy self-pity (though she does a wonderful treatment of that, too, in "Breaking Down"). I can't recommend this CD highly enough--one of the best music purchases I ever made.

This review is from: This Child (Audio CD)

This is a beautifully produced album from a part of the world we don't hear from often. I have listened to many indigenous performers from North America and many of these performances are marred by an amateurish production. Not so on this cd. It is non-commercial yet very attractive to a non-Inuit listener. Susan is a talented songwriter and singer.
