5.0 out of 5 stars Bright and thoroughly delightful., January 24, 2007

By	M. Lancaster (Barneveld, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the first yodeling CD I've owned and the only one that I've yet been able to listen to in its entirety and really enjoy. The yodeling is bright, upbeat and quickly brings a smile. The folk songs provide a great context and serve as the perfect backdrop for the yodels. Toni's voice is clear and strong, yet the yodels are not overpowering. The yodeling enhances the melodies providing depth and subtle complexity in tracks like "Edelweiss." Many of the tunes are so catchy that I found myself trying to sing along but soon discovered that the yodeling is best left to Toni! So I relaxed and settled for tapping my foot instead. I honestly never thought I'd like yodeling, but this CD won me over!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brings back memories, February 27, 2007

By	B. Cash (Waunakee, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I got chills all over and tears came to my eyes when I heard Toni's sweet voice yodelling all the songs I remember from my childhood visits to New Glarus, Wisconsin, and a later visit to Switzerland with my grandparents, whose OWN grandparents emigrated from that beautiful country in the 1840's. The whole musical arrangement of the CD is first-class, and it sure makes me want to try to sing along!
You will certainly enjoy this happy CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars The New Swiss Miss, January 31, 2007

By	Janine R. Ellsworth (Vancouver, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am totally enchanted by Ms. Blum's yodelling. It is a wonderful escape to a much simpler time. Both simple and extraordinary, the CD has been a great stress reliever and has introduced me to the art of yodelling. It is truly a unique and delightful find!
