A voice as rich as oiled wood,
By Diana Livingstone (Vancouver, B.C. Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crazy Love (Audio CD)
When we finally got hooked onto the world wide web recently, the first name I typed into our search engine was Melanie. To find a new album was thrilling, but when I clicked on Amazon audio and heard The Voice, I teared up.In Crazy Love, Melanie's voice is as captivating as ever; with her son Beau Jared Schekeryk's guitar, voice and guitar are oiled wood on oiled wood. Of the new songs--And We Fall, This House, Prone to Wander, Come Away Come Go--stand out although they're all well crafted and refreshingly original. I wonder if the fact that Melanie chose to lead a relatively normal life has given her a rich palette to draw her ideas from? I questioned the inclusion of Brand New Key, but my two girls, aged 7 and 3, dance around the kitchen to it every time I play it. It makes sense, I got hooked on Melanie when I was a little girl too. Melanie's songwriting appeals to young ones because she draws from the everyday occurences: "you find your lost keys where you looked before," "She said yes, but you weren't alone." Reading the liner notes about Brand New Key made me laugh. Rickie Lee Jones has her Chuck E's in Love, Melanie has her Brand New Key. They're both great songs, catchy and clever. I hope there are more albums in the works. With the internet, we all have access to great talents who aren't commercially as available as they should be.

mother and son,
By Bert Krus (Arnhem, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Crazy Love (Audio CD)
My sister introduced Melanie into our home mid seventies. Melanie seemed to be popular among the members of the choir she joined. So one day she bought 'The Good Book'. This must be our most played album at home. We all loved Melanie's music that was so inspired somehow. Surprisingly last summer I had the chance to see Melanie in concert. Girlish Melanie had become a Woman and was supported musically by her son Beau. Well, the concert was great! Melanie still sang great, with her voice a little more deeper now, and her new songs sounded great upbeat with the same inspiration. Beau did his guitarswork just perfectly cool and experimental, it was amazingly fresh. It sounded like a mix of country, rock and Spanish guitarwork supported by his crazy laptop. A few months later I got this album and Im playing it for weeks already. I think its totally catchy. The compositions are fluent and fully considered. "They are artists overthere".

CRAZY AND WONDERFUL AS EVER,
This review is from: Crazy Love (Audio CD)
"Look What They Done To My Song, Ma" still makes me teary-eyed and when someone told me Melanie has come out with CRAZY LOVE, I looked ALL OVER and AT LONG LAST found it in Germany, with an extra song! Melanie is as crazy and wonderful as ever! Keep it up, Melanie, keep rolling on those skates and remember: YOU ALONE HAVE THE KEY!
