"I remember when I was 12 years old, I bought the album "Walking My Cat Named Dog" in a 99 cent bin at Montgomery Wards. It is one of my favorite albums of all time. Check out the tracks "Jubliation" to be happy and free and share the greatness of freedom "Don't Touch" the warning song to people who can be easily mislead by others and "No Stranger Am I" a beautiful love song, a song that Norma only could sing. When you listen to Norma Tanega's lyrics they are thoughtful, truthful, and sharing. Those lyrics were written over 30 years ago, and to this very day, they still apply. It is a must have for a collector who enjoys spiritual freedom, and whom can caress the beauty of life. I highly recommend it"

Great Music bad pressing

"I was a very disappointed in the quality of this CD. The music is great; great nostalgia. I had this LP when it first came out and loved it and was excited to have it available on CD. The sound quality is terrible: hissing, noise; sounds like it was made from an LP in none too good condition.



Also I was surprised that a hole was drilled through the CD case--isn't this something retailers do when a manufacturer discontinues and item--similar to ripping off the cover of a paperback book?"

One Hit Wonder from 1966

"1966 was a great year for music: the Beatles, the Mamas and the Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, etal. However, one of the songs I remember best is Norma Tanega's one-hit wonder "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog". I don't know why -- it just appealed to me. Maybe it was the sense of joyous freedom as opposed to the heavy-handed Hippie anti-establishment freedom. If any other of Norma Tanega's songs made it to the radio, I missed them. When I saw this CD last year, I purchased it.



The album contains 12 Norma Tanega songs including "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog" which is still a great song. I think "A Street That Rhymes At 6 AM" is even better. The other 10 songs are OK but not great. The album notes are somewhat sketchy -- a bit more information about Miss Tanega and the songs would have been nice."
