CD Reviews

Lift Up Your Heart

Lee Armstrong | Winterville, NC United States | 04/16/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Connie Blackwood has played a number of clubs including House of Blues in the Orlando area. As an actress, she's done a number of films including "From Earth to the Moon" directed by Sally Field. Her music on "I Wish You Well" has full bodied vocals with mostly mid-tempo melodies and lyrics that lift up your heart. She writes her own songs. The title track is a friendly breakup song. "You're the One" has a pretty, somewhat sentimental melody. "Ocean Bird" has a bit more bite with some snarling electric guitar behind the pop chorus; and I understand there's a music video for this track. Sindy Lee's flute gives a breezy jazz feel to "Sunny Stretch of Beach." "All I Want Is A Kiss" is a bit more lusty melody with Connie's come-hither vocals. My 3 favorite tracks all come two-thirds of the way through: "My Angel" is a lovely ethereal melody with angelic background vocals. "We're Special" is a positive thinking anthem with a bit of down home flavor as Connie sings, "God never made any junk & I like what he's done with me." "I Need to Feel" is a slow melody with a stately lyric and works exquisitely well. "I'm Listening" is a light-hearted track. The CD concludes with the ethereal "The Whale Song" with Eunice Pruitt's flute beckoning like a whale song. This is a good set with some excellent material from a talented songwriter. Enjoy!"
