CD ReviewsAnother gem from a gem... DARRYL | Washington, DC | 10/13/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have these two on album, and love them both. I'M 40 yrs. old and i'm a BIG BIG Nancy Wilson fan, and i have most of her music on CD, from two albums on CD issues. now i'm beginning to purchase albums that are out of print, or not on CD yet. And the funny thing is , i just purchased these two albums like two weeks ago from amazon collectors. they have minor scratches,which is ok for some, but me i want to hear very instrument, but can listen to it, i had no choice, but now, that this CD is out i'm deleting the albums, i put on my ipod, and put this on. both albums are very good, but i love, love gentle is my love, its very classy and jazzy a milder softer Nancy. my favs are who can i turn to, gentle is my love,if ever i would leave you, the other are good too, but those stick out for me, and the how glad i am album , is good too, epspecialy the title cut, dont rain on my parade, the classic , i wanna be with you, love the arrangement of the song, and the song People, love it! and its time to go.. all vintage nancy of who nancy really is. take it from a nancy wilson fan, and i am DEFINITELY one, you won't be disappointed at all!" Sunny Sounds of the Sixties Ernest C Tong | Portland, Oregon United States | 10/14/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "In 1964, Nancy Wilson won her first Grammy singing "How Glad I Am" and was nominated again the next year for the exquisitely sung "Gentle Is My Love." How glad we are that DRG Records has combined these two exciting recordings into one newly released CD! Received my copy a few days ago and am happy to report the mastering by Alan Silverman (who also mastered the recently reissued Peggy Lee DRG CDs) is superb. The twofer includes "It's Time for Me" which was omitted in later pressings of the "How Glad I Am" album. Will Friedwald's liner notes delight the fan unraveling decades old mysteries of the stories behind the sounds. There are three bonus tracks, the most unusual to my ears being Nancy's cover of an old Drifters' tune "Such A Night." The CD concludes with the follow-up single to "How Glad I Am" entitled "Something's Going On." It's a pleasant enough tune that reminds me of "No One Else but You" from Nancy's "A Touch of Today" album, but pales in comparison to the Grammy winning song. The Sid Feller arrangements compliment Nancy's soaring interpretations perfectly and beautifully in ways this listener never tires of hearing. " FINALLY! Brooklin Slym | 01/21/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "Fist of all, this is not a 5 star review. Take every star you see above you each, night, multiply it by infinity, and that's how i rate this release.
I found "Gentle Is My Love" on used vinyl in the village of Manhattan back in the early 90s and fell in love with it. Though it was dusty and had a minor skip on my second favorite tune (Who Can I Turn To?), i played it incessantly nonetheless. To hear her "beg...steal...or borro-o-o-o-ow" her share of laughter still makes my heart palpitate. I can still hear my older sister screaming at me to shut-up roaming through the house singing exaggeratedly from "When He Makes Music": "everytime (s)he breaths a sigh, a symphony begins/everytime (s)he says goodbye, a million violins/start crying." And my personal favorite, the title tune, is a killer with a "punchline" that makes everyone i play it for flip. Well, after years of searching, and even trying to clean it digitally and convert it to mp3 myself with so-so results, i finally have a pristine digital copy of this gem of an album. Kudos & thank yous to the powers that be that finally made it happen, but even more of the above to Ms. Wilson & her arranger for creating such a splendid masterpiece to begin with." |
