'Songs of Experience' review(s):
About"Songs of Experience" is Cindy Mangsen's first Redwing Music release and shows how beautifully time can enrich, strengthen and add color to a naturally gifted voice. The Boston Globe called her "one of the finest pure ballad singers in folk today, a wondrously clear and honest vocalist." "Songs of Experience" returns to the wellspring of traditional ballads, revealing Cindy's keen insight into the deeper meanings of these songs and her unique ability to convey their elemental power. She is also an exceptional song finder and brings a few new tunes that sing well side by side with their distant cousins. These songs, in the hands of a true artist, become again what they were meant to be. The beauty and emotional intensity of these performances set a standard by which other singers of traditional music will be measured for some time to come. source: Redwing Music |
