| | Robert Gass Ancient Mother CD Robert Gass Discography of CDs
The spirit of the Great Goddess comes to life as traditional female singers, priestesses and shamans from Celtic, Afro-American, Yoruba, Hawaiian, East Indian, Hungarian, and Native American traditions are joined by the renowned On Wings of Song singers. The music is both ageless and contemporary, ranging from the 11th Century plainsong of Hildegard of Bingen to ecstatic gospel rock, all set in natural environmental backgrounds of birds, rivers, cicadas and crickets, humpback whales and the ocean. ~ MusD

Laura Powers Beyond the Pale: Legends of the Goddess II Red Harp Records Legends of the Goddess Red Harp Records Something magical is bound to happen when a painter with a background in metaphysics, a knack for storytelling, and a desire to interpret her Celtic roots, combines those elements to create a musical journey leading the listener into her world. "Legends of the Goddess" and "Beyond the Pale: Legends of the Goddess II" are the first and second cd in a three volume collection ("The Goddess Series") which feature musical themes based on the Celtic Goddess of ancient myth.Powers' fascination and extensive research in Celtic mythology, combined with her talent as a singer/songwriter, led her to the creation of this project.The music, enhanced by instrumentation such as tin whistle, uilleann pipes and Irish flute, melds with the lyrical imagery and her oil paintings, to present a timeless collection of music and art. "This has been a work in progress for some time," says Powers, who adds that, when she conceived the project, "I was thinking partially in terms of the kind of music that I'd like to paint to, because when I paint I'm on a different level of awareness, and I wanted songs that would help take me--and the listener--to that level." From songs like the mythical "Goddess of the Sea Mist" to "Answer Me With Silence," her music captures the heart and soothes the spirit. As the daughter of a military officer, Laura Powers spent much of her youth living in various parts of the world.She studied abroad and began singing professionally in college.She went on to land a recording deal with Carrere Records in Paris, France where she had several successful singles and appeared internationally on radio and television.In addition to her background as a live performer, Powers' craftsmanship as a songwriter has made a name for herself in the music and film industries.Her songs have been covered by numerous recording artists, and is reaching an international audience with her songs recorded in French and Spanish. Powers, who first began songwriting in her late teens says, "I'm big on melody, beautiful harmonies and layered voices, as well as the time-honored classic structure of pop songs." Musically, the influence of European pop can be heard throughout the records, and lyrically, it is the metaphysical/mythological aspect of Legends that is the central focus.The songs from the first cd "Legends of the Goddess" are full of ancient Celtic references, including "Tir Na Nog (Land of the Ever Young) a Celtic/Euro-pop reverie about the mystical land of the Ever Young; "Samhain Madrigal," which heralds the coming of the Celtic "season of darkness"; "Circle of Stone," a majestic look at Stonehenge and the feeling of deja vu at having been there before; and "Morrighan's Quest," an ode to the lusty, boisterous Celtic goddess of battles.The first album ends, appropriately, with "Song of One." "I wanted a song to hold the album together," says Powers."This song speaks of the oneness of all people everywhere.I ...
| | Vince Martin Tear Down The Walls CD (1964)
Ancient Mother songs
$11.95 Because of the renown achieved in later years by Fred Neil, it is easy to forget that his partner was much better known at the time Martin & Neil released their sole album in 1964. "Vince Martin With the Tarriers," as they were billed, had scored a Top Ten hit with "Cindy, Oh Cindy" in 1956. Martin possessed the sort of forceful tenor that enabled Glenn Yarbrough to lead the Limeliters to success, and he used it in a similarly dramatic ...
