CD Reviews

Talent, Emotion & Understanding

Lori L. Lake | 12/31/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was so surprised not to see a review for this cd - it is not only a great introduction to the many gay & lesbian singers but also a educational landmark in the people who have fought againt bigotry and ignorance. Stand out tracks for me are "Love Worth Fighting For" - Michael Callen, "Lay Your Burden Down" - Dan Martin, "Sit With Me" - Holly Near and "Jonathan Wesley Oliver Jr" - Lee Lessack. This is a not only a must for anyone coming to terms with their sexuality and looking for support and understanding but also for anyone looking for great lyrics, music and above all faith. I'm sure there should be Volume 2 in the making!"

Good Variety - Something For Everyone

Lori L. Lake | Portland, Oregon, USA | 02/16/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'll admit it---I bought this CD for Michael Callen's and Cris Williamson's songs alone. But I was pleasantly surprised to find I like all of the music, in particular the selections by Bill McKinley, Ann Reed, The Flirtations, Janis Ian, and Marsha Malamet.The music is heartfelt and literally feels true. Good voices, decent orchestration, and a feeling of strength throughout. The only thing keeping me from giving this 5 stars is that the tone is a little too much the same throughout, which may be what they were striving for, but I would have liked a couple more songs of wanton, raucous celebration.One note: When Michael Callen died, a little bit of light went out of the world. His voice is hauntingly brilliant, and if I had to buy all his music one song per CD, I would. :-)"
