Produktbeskrivelse
There´s purity to Baron´s singing, an unfiltered honesty that´s as refreshing as an early morning snowfall and fulfilling as a heartfelt compliment.´ - JazzTimes. A truly talented vocalist, Christy Baron brings us her third release entitled Take This Journey, again revealing an intriguing repertoire of modern classics delivered through her evocative voice. But it´s not only the sound of her voice that captivates the audience … her ability to maintain the delicate balance between the musical and poetic ideas of both the composer and lyricist creates the kind of mood that prepares the listener for a simply wonderful journey. Take This Journey is a story, a reflection of life that captures the wonderful reality of the genuine interactions we share with the people around us. Christy´s rendition of the Turtles´ classic ´Happy Together´ sets the tone of the record with her sultry yet optimistic recording that is nothing less than convincing. The album features songs from Carole King including ´Stand Behind Me´ and ´First Day in August,´ and an incisive version of ´Bitter With The Sweet.´ Christy´s clear vocalizations are apparent when she explains the sad fact that ´A House Is Not a Home´ and sets the limits in Sondheim´s Sweeney Todd classic ´Not While I´m Around.´ The darker side of life is apparent through Sinatra´s classic ´Old Devil Moon´ and Cleo Lane´s ´The Lies of Handsome Men.´ But don´t lose hope just yet … a captivating rendition of Stevie Wonder´s ´Overjoyed´ showcases Baron´s optimism in mankind. Christy Baron communicates the pleasure and the pain of our existence in Take This Journey, appealing to the intellectual listener with her sweet, knowing recognition of life´s wonder.
