| | Erica Wheeler Almost Like Tonight CD Erica Wheeler Discography of CDs
ALMOST LIKE TONIGHT/LIVE (FEB 2005/Blue Pie Music)" This recording is dedicated to those of you who come up to me at the CD table after a show and asked, "Which one is most like tonight?" Now I can point and say "This one!" From the liner notes of "Almost Like Tonight". This live recording shows the breadth and depth of Erica Wheeler's skills as a live performer. Mostly gathered from a 2004 Valentine's Night concert in Homestead, Florida, this CD is a compilation of live recordings. Included are: some song introductions, live versions of Erica's previously released songs, some new songs, some funny songs that lend themselves to a live setting, a new studio version of a song from Erica's first cassette AND a short radio interview on KPIG radio. REVIEWErica Wheeler translates folk with fine live performancesCentre Daily Times 1/20/2006 by Dennis Fallon On "Almost Like Tonight" , Massachusetts singer-songwriter Erica Wheeler weaves a tapestry of the America betweenNew York and Los Angeles--a place of back roads and working class heroes, blended with lost love and sorrow found to paint a bittersweet picture of our homes and lives. The live CD is a perfect vehicle for Wheeler's bluegrass and folk styling: her voice is warm and welcome, showcasing a wealth of vocal power and prowess held in reserve. You can tell that Wheeler could belt out a tune to shake the rafters, but she chooses to whisper instead of shout, murmur instead of scream. It's an effective technique for her intimate songwriting and the personal nature of her live performances. A collection of Wheeler's tunes and an ample amount of covers, "Almost Like Tonight" gives Wheeler a chance to chat with the audience, crack jokes and explain herself--a"VH1 Storytellers" for the NPR crowd. Wheeler's vocal delivery is what makes these songs; she's a combination of Ani DiFranco at her folkiest, the Indigo Girls at their most mellow, and a healthy dose of old Appalachian bluegrass. "Maryland County Road" and "The Harvest" are simple country tunes that evoke laughter, memories and Americana. Wheeler flexes her comedic muscles on the sing-alongs " I Can See Your Aura" and "Sober Harley Guys", and her cover of Van Morrison's "Crazy Love" is pure magic... Overall, "Almost Like Tonight" is a great CD for folk, country and bluegrass fans. Wheeler is that new breed of songwriter: an eclectic mix of styles forming a truly American sound. She's political and socially aware, but not self-conscious, pompous or too serious.

Almost Like Tonight CD music
$17.05 
After taking a decade-and-a-half vacation from live performance, septuagenarian singer/songwriter/saint Leonard Cohen returned to the stage in 2008 for a European tour. During his absence, his popularity had grown to such a degree that his London concert took place at the city's O2 Arena. With the gathered masses sounding suitably enraptured, Cohen can be heard delivering a long program that serves as both career summary and mission reiteration on this double-length live album (FYI, there's also a DVD companion release).
Amazingly, Cohen sounds even more vital and intense than the last time he strode the boards, back in the mid-'90s. For all the high-powered ...

Forget that she has a magnificent voice, one that gets inside of you and weaves into the folds of your memory, striking a chord of something deeply familiar but forgotten.Put it aside for now that being at one of her live shows is like being in a living room alone with Angie- that she and her guitar will tell you stories in such a way that you feel like you must be old chums. What you really need to know about Angie Heimann and her music is that her lyrics are as savory and nutritious as a nine course vegetarian meal- the perfect yet tough to find combination of spice, tanginess, and satisfying wholesomeness. Angie sings about every day topics- her move from Georgia, her teensy bladder, her haircut- but she peppers these recountings of day-to-day events with dashes of wit, depth, fun and beauty so that each song becomes a luscious, gratifying morsel of goodness. Angie's fundamental beliefs- that people are good at heart, that life is short and precious, that true loving is not at all what they say it is on TV or on most radio stations- come through as plainly as potatoes in her songs. But the way she serves them is not, at all, plain. She adds metaphor, humor, and regional spice, and when she's finished each song, you'll find that you've been served a healthful, zesty delicacy that will leave you piqued for the next course. Angie began writing at the age of 12. Since then, she has graduated from Miami University with an interdisciplinary degree that combined creative writing, women's studies and literature studies. She has created her own record label (Cinnamon Bones ...
