CD Reviews
Rebellious Dreamer - A Joyful Experience
Brenda Stinson | Cedar Brook, NJ | 08/11/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"If you want a CD you can listen to over and over again, Rebellious Dreamer is it! And Joy Adler, vocalist extraordinaire, is bound to become a household name. The CD opens like a gusty wind with "I'm Blue" and never looks back. Rebellious Dreamer offers music with a message, guiding us on a journey within ourselves. From the pain and shadows of our past. To the excitement and anticipation of our dreams to be. All the while, embracing the glory and freedom of the now. This CD is replete with practical wisdom, enfolded in magical melodies. Song after song we are led to the depths of our soul, to the womb of the truth. The truth about who we are, the lives we lead, the choices we've made, and the world we live in. Rebellious Dreamer is a tribute to all of us who ever dared to fly, and to those of us seeking to muster up the courage to be ourselves with honor, dignity, and grace. We are survivors. We are dreamers. We are miracle-workers. And we have suffered immense losses. Rebellious Dreamer so fills us with inspiration and an urge to triumph, it may well be celebrated as the Women's Anthem for the new millenium... and beyond. Joy Adler's soulful style has a power and a presence that stirs the sleepy spirit. Nudging us, "Wake up, wake up. Freedom rings; the time to LIVE is now." Rebellious Dreamer shall be cherished and shared widely for years to come. Thank you, Joy, for this wonderful, timeless gift for all of us who needed a lift, and for all of us who needed to hear our story told out loud."

"For those of us who search for more in music than good melody or witty lyrics; for those of us who look to music to open doorways into the machinery of our souls; for those of us need to know we are truly not alone - put on your headset, silence your mind, and experience songs that can create an ayahuasca-like journey on the wings of a truly healing voice. Listen with caution though - at the end, you may be motivated to "pay it forward"."

"This is a terrific CD. Joy Adler is not only a very, very talented singer she is also a very, very talented writer. It is a pleasure to listen to her wonderful voice. The first time I heard Joy Adler sing was on a cruise ship in Lake George, NY. She was terrific then as she is on her CD."
Dream to live!

"This Cd really gets into the being of Joy Adler's mind! Her range is remarkable. She pours out her heart and soul to sing about what so many women face every day! She has come so far and delicately touched those around her in so many ways with her words of inspiration. Her voice transports your mind to a different height of the soul. It's as if an angel has stepped into the room when you listen to her music! The rest of the world suddenly disappears! She creates a comforting peace in this unsettling world we live in!
And if you are blessed enough to know her, you would certainly understand that she brings an overwhelming magic to everything around her!We know that her next release, Postcard from Pittsburgh will be even more phenomenal!"
