Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The combined artistry of James McEachin and musical composer Louis Foristieri, (creators of award-winning CD, "Pebbles in the Roadway: Tales & Essays, Bits & Pieces") are together once more in honor of the American veteran, their families, friends, and loved ones. Foristieri delivers a musical storyline intertwining impeccably with the richly deep and expressive delivery given by McEachin in this powerfully written, astutely stated offering. A commemorative to the life, liberty, justice, and freedom afforded by the honor, duty and service of the American veteran.

From the Author

The initial idea for this recording came about when, at the behest of the U.S. Department of Defense, I was touring the country delivering speeches on behalf of Korean War veterans. The idea fell into full fruition when, along with Ed McMahon and singer Randy Travis, I was asked to narrate a piece at the MCI Center in Washington, DC.

The response was overwhelming and it took me back to earlier in the day when I had the opportunity to visit Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland and spoke with some of our young servicemen and women who had been wounded in Operation Iraqi Freedom. As a Purple Heart veteran, I understood what they were going through; moreover I was struck by their courage and dedication, and was reminded that, like all veterans, their only aim is to serve this country - and to serve it without reservation. When I returned home, I thought of writing and recording a tribute to all veterans. The result is VOICES: A Tribute to the American Veteran.

Voices is not designed to be an endorsement of any political party. The sole purpose of this offering is to pay tribute to those who have served and are now serving this nation. It is to honor those who have fought and died for the principles of freedom that we, as Americans, so enjoy today.

5.0 out of 5 stars America Needs To Hear It!, January 25, 2005

By	Hazel Cox (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

McEachin has outdone himself in this wonderful commemorative to the American Veteran. The writing is superb with historical reference and accuracy that eloquently tributes all members of the military in an honorable reflection. McEachin's voice is as rich as ever, the music to accompany each piece blending into a masterful narration. Voices is excellent beyond belief, a must hear for every American and especially those who've served and are serving our country in times of war.
