Member CD Reviews Darcy K. (Darcyjo) from ROCKINGHAM, NC Reviewed on 10/20/2006... Nice, easy listen.
CD ReviewsThoughtful, inspired and beautiful in it's simplicty Scott M. Johnson | columbia, mo | 01/18/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "I first became of Claire Holley and her music at an Over the Rhine Christmas concert at Calvin College. I was knocked out by Claire's charm and the way she gently held the audience (most of whom had never heard of her)in the palm of her hand. But I was overwhelmed by her music. I sat, closed my eyes and was transported to another place as she sang songs like "Higher Ground" and "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus". It was, quite simply, beautiful. Later that week I bought this album and found an almost similar experience. Each of these hymns are re-cast in a thoughful manner which highlights Claire's folk and bluegrass roots. Her voice is clear and invested but plaintive as well...a welcome change from the melodrama of many of the female artists that we're over-exposed to on the radio. Claire's guitar styling must also be noted...for some reason the one word that springs to my mind is "supple". Instrumentally, she is complemented by several tasteful players who know bring the right texture and colour to her arrangements. Sanctuary is a fine album anda welcome addtion to anyone's record collection" Sanctuary - Claire Holley Antonio G. Flores | Waco, TX United States | 12/09/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "A definite for anyone looking for a well done album of hymns. If you like Jewel's style and voice type, this is a must buy.
My wife and I heard about Claire Holley on NPR during the Sunday weekend Morning Edition. We liked the style of her music on the interview. We both love the simplicity of her music especially since she is singing treasured hymns. Too many times an artist feels compelled to change everything when singing a standard hymn. Mrs. Holley does not for the most part and when she does on a few of the hymns, it is done very tastefully. If I hear her version of "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" in the morning, I will sing and hum it all day long." |
