Synopsis

Product Description

Cris Williamson's new solo release, Fringe, is about returning home in body, spirit and memory. The places we have left, by moving or maturing, abide in us still, and Cris takes us back to her beloved Wyoming with old songs and old-style songs that lovingly pay tribute to harsh prairies and to the virtues required to eke out a living on them. Many of her songs tell a story in verses around a chorus that sticks in your head. A sad or dramatic story, interspersed with an upbeat catchy chorus that is the Western character in a nutshell. Like messages tied to tumbleweeds, driven by the western wind, these songs roll out of the subtly powerful prairie landscape, right up to your heart's door. A panoramic Americana treat, both original and traditional, from this legendary singer/songwriter.

CD Reviews

A Must-Have For Your Music Collection!

Music Lover | Seattle, WA | 12/02/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Let it be known, Cris Williamson can really, really, really SING! Her warm, honest, and beautiful voice, coupled with her heart-felt, poetic, and truly meaningful songwriting, make this album an instant classic! From the opening tune, you'll feel a sense of "Ah..." - it's like slipping into your favorite, most comfortable jacket. This c.d. is simply gorgeous! Cris is perhaps best-known for her classic album, "The Changer and the Changed" (also a must-have for any music library!) "Fringe" is sure to evoke similiar feelings in the listener, stirring the emotions at every turn. There are lovely surprises through-out; from the raw passion of the title track, to her tear-jerking duet with Teresa Trull about the loss of a beloved horse, "One Wing Through the Wall"; Cris delivers pure beauty and emotion on every song. "Alazan", "Murder of Crows" and "High Lonesome" will have you tapping and drumming and singing along in no time! Cris surrounds herself with many of her incredibly talented friends here - Barbara Higbie, Julie Wolf, Vicki Randal and Teresa Trull, to name a few. Do your heart (and your music collection) a favor - get this remarkable treasure now!!"

Amazing!

"This CD is incredible. I can't stop listening to it. Cris' eloquent poetic lyrics combined with interesting beautiful music makes this CD, in my opinion, one of her best!

For those who know her music, that's a significant statement. I adore and cherish "Changer and the Changed" and generally have most of the 6 CD slots in my car filled with her music, but I find myself over and over again hitting the buttons until I get to this one. The title song "Fringe" is just amazing.

For those new to Cris Williamson, order this CD and "Changer and the Changed" and I'll say welcome to the Cris Williamson fan club because you will be one. I once read a quote from Bonnie Rait where she described Cris' voice "like honey on a cello." Perfect description.

Thank you, Cris, for sharing your extraordinary gifts with us yet again.

"My family and I are completely in love with this CD! Cris' rich, warm voice is the perfect winter treat to sing along with about love and adventure and the peace of honoring the wild. I have laughed outloud with the song about the woman craving for the holy grail of the big seed catalog in the dead of winter. My young son asks for the NEW LULLABYE, which conjures up the horses coming to take him to his dream world (and yes, his dreams are entirely full of horses)every night before he is ready for bed. I know many folks like the cowboy-girls in the songs on this CD and will be giving it for many holiday gifts. I just hope I get myself another copy before we wear this one out."
