CD Reviews

Something to Shout About
M. Boring | Columbus, Ohio United States | 08/07/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I picked this CD not because I had any idea who Kim Criswell is

but because I love the songs. I wasn't prepared for how wonderful

Ms Criswell's voice is able to master the incredible and sadly

under-recorded Irving Berlin songs from "Call Me Madam." This CD is

a must for those who simply want to hear great songs sung by

someone who knows great material and has a voice that will leave

you cheering for more"
THE BEST BROADWAY VOICE TODAY
Pococat | Baltimore. MD USA | 11/16/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have recently become aware of the powerful vocal prowess of this amazing singer. She has such a variety of vocal colors to her voice. She combines the best qualities of Ethel Merman, Mary Martin, and Julie Andrews. Highly recommended!"
Overdone Arrangements, some good vocals
jrus | 05/26/2006
(3 out of 5 stars)

"For the variety of Irving Berlin songs this is a great CD, however much of the arrangements are overdone and ruin perfectly wonderful songs. A good example is "Blue Skies" the first half of the song is a wonderful Jazz rendition of the classic, but after the interlude for some reason it goes into a full broadway belt number, which just ruins the piece.



Kim is a belt legit that is for sure and she can mimic Merman perfectly, which she does in "Your Just In Love" perhaps a little too well.



Where she knocks it out of the park is Mr. Monotony great tune and done exceptionally well in all aspects.



This is a good CD for those who like pure broadway, but if you are expecting a more jazzy soulful sound ala Ella you will be disappointed."
