CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description I Am A Bird Now, is the second full-length album from extraordinary New York artist, ANTONY & THE JOHNSONS, and features contributions from both Antony's peers (RUFUS WAINWRIGHT, DEVENDRA BANHARDT) and heroes (LOU REED, BOY GEORGE). Their involvement reflects both their admiration for Antony, and his unique place in the contemporary arts community. Antony was recently in Australia to perform at the LEONARD COHEN tribute nights at the Sydney Opera House. BERNARD ZUEL reported in the SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: And in the category of "where the hell has he been hiding?" was the hulking, shambling figure of New York singer Antony, who left open mouths on and off the stage with his heart-piercing explorations of The Guests and the prayer-like If It Be Your Will. The reacton from the audience on each night was astounding, they were simply transfixed by his vocal delivery and performance. I Am A Bird Now is going to be 2005s left-field hit record. Antonys gospel songs come from another world. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsBest Album of his In My Opinion... Jeffrey C. Wilson | Seattle, WA USA | 01/26/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am a huge lover of music for such a long time and have used Amazon for at least 6 years, especially for the user's reviews of albums to help me decide whether or not I should but an album or artist, but after hundreds of music purchases I never left a written review, of course, until now. That is how much this album has impressed me. I first heard Antony about 6 years ago in a movie penned by my favorite author Eddie Bunker (AKA Mr. Blue, READ "No Beast So Fierce") directed by Steve Buscemi called "Animal Factory", where Antony had a bit part singing a song at a prison talent show ("Rapture" from his first release). I was always moved by the song, but never motivated to follow through, until about 5 years later, where his voice still had left a haunting impression on me, and I did the research to find out who had that voice left singing in my head. Again, I turned to Amazon for the reviews of listeners, where the jest of complaint goes towards his "vibrato", but I was still haunted, so I decided to start at the beginning bought the self-titled album, his first, which I enjoyed, though still on the fence on the "vibrato" factor, but blown away by the intesity and lyrics, so I was moved enough to buy this album... and then I was HOOKED!!! Seriously, nothing short of spectacular. If you have heard of his music and are wondering which album to buy or where to start, this is your album, then you become as obsessed and I have, and love that beautiful voice, as well as appreciate the long lost art of the EP the he has mastered, then onto the other projects that he has lent himself to like with Bjork, Hercules and Love Affair... even a cover of "I'm Knocking on Heaven's Door" on the "I'm Not There" Soundtrack. If you have a soul, you will be possessed." Heartbreaking Dolores Ruddy | FL | 10/18/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first saw Antony on a tribute to Leonard Cohen.His voice was so eerily beautiful that I couldn't forget the performance. I knew I would find what I needed to know at Amazon."
