| | Jacquie Walters Step Into The Light CD Jacquie Walters Discography of CDs
'Step Into the Light':The second solo CD for Jacquie Walters (nee Hanham), formerly a member of 'Pounamu'. 'Step Into The Light' features 13 original songs from the pop-like title track to the sparse and emotive 'Harvest Of Tears' which is based on stories gathered during Walters' time working as the editor of a logging magazine. 'Icarus' is a tribute to the late New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange. There's a touch of country on 'My Little Girl' and some delicate, sensitive playing from notable session musicians such as Mark Laurent (guitar) and Janet Holborow (cello). New Zealand Folk Album of the Year finalist for 2005, Chris Priestley, also makes an appearance as a backing vocalist. This CD is for lovers of the acoustic sound. Critical responses to 'Step Into The Light':'A clear, crisp and passionate recording. ' Martyn Pepperell, NZ Musician'Full of love, longing, and romance!this really is a beautiful album!A very fine songstress indeed!She's just crafted these songs so beautifully. ' Liz Barry, 'Good Morning' Television 1, New Zealand."'Step Into The Light' is more in the fine folk vein, the focus on meaningful reflections. And with hints of cello and violin creating slight avenues between Walters' inventive picking and rich vocals, the songs are warm performances...'Step Into the Light' is an engaging listen with a fine wine on a cosy evening." Steve Scott - Waikato TimesJacquie Walters:Jacquie is a freelance writer, editor, and singer-songwriter. Jacquie began composing songs before she could read and sang in choirs during her school years. From 1987-1989 she trained as a singer under Welsh tenor Alun Jones during her two years at the United World College of the Atlantic, in Wales. After returning to New Zealand she regularly performed at folk clubs and festivals around the country, forming a group called 'Pounamu' with Ariana Tikao and Leigh Taiwhati. The group recorded 'Koha' before Leigh left the group. 'Pounamu', then comprised of Jacquie and Ariana, went on to record 'Uha' and 'Mihi', made regular appearances on regional television, and were selected to represent the South Island on a multi-part musical series recorded on the roof of the TVNZ building in Auckland. They were also selected to represent New Zealand in order to deliver the Body Shop's petition against French nuclear testing to the Presidential Palace in Paris in 1996. During their trip they performed on the BBC World Service and in Sydney, London, Paris, and Strasbourg. In 1999 Jacquie toured and performed at UK festivals as part of 'Freewheelin' with Pete Dean and Kate Bramley. Kate is now a member of Jez Lowe's band 'The Bad Pennies'. In 2000 Jacquie returned to New Zealand. She recorded her first solo CD 'Dreamwalking' in Christchurch in 2000. The title track from the CD received an honourable mention in the Billboard World Song Contest. A second track from the album achieved an honourable mention in the Unisong International Song Competition. She recorded her second solo cd 'Step Into The Light' in 2006.

Step Into The Light album
$15.05 Christmas With the New Christy Minstrels: Complete! offers not one, but two albums by the group of the same name. Interestingly, because of a number of personnel changes, none of the members present for Merry Christmas! in 1963 remained with the group in 1966 when Christmas With the Christies was recorded. While the group has been eclipsed by Peter, Paul, and Mary over time, the New Christy Minstrels' star shone as bright as any folk group in the mid-'60s. The group carved out a unique choral ...

$4.99 The Rankin/Bass animagic film Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer first appeared on December 6, 1964. Since then, it has become the longest-running of all holiday TV specials (with, we hope, no end in sight). It's fitting that the grandfather of all Christmas specials features Burl Ives, still remembered warmly by millions as the voice behind the film's narrator, Sam the Snowman. Although this soundtrack bears his name, Ives ...

| | George Penk, Clyde Curley & Susan Songer A Portland Selection 2: Contra Dance Music In The Pacific Northwest CD (2006)
Step Into The Light songs
$18.99 A Portland Selection 2 is still too new for reveiw (it takes awhile). but here's what was said about the first recording by these same musicians:A Portland Selection (1)Bob Buckingham (Fiddler Magazine, Summer 2001)This CD is intended as a companion to The Portland Collection, a fine book of contra dance tunes that has sold over 5000 copies. George Penk is the fiddler and a fine one he is. Contra dance music tends to lean toward the Celtic side and George is in full control. When he tackles a southern piece like "Liza Jane" or "Sally Ann Johnson,' he is equally at home. He is joined by the musicians whose names appeared on the book. Clyde Curley plays mandolin as well as octave mandolin and 4-string banjo. He tastefully switches between playing the melody and counterpoint or a harmony line, adding a subtle complexity to each dance set. Susan Songer is a piano accompanist par excellence. Her pulsing chord work with its fluid syncopation is the groundwork upon which George and Clyde work. The recording quality is top notch, as are the interesting arrangements. The medleys give us examples of how these tunes can be linked for a dance. Those who are book-bound should take note that these musicians have taken the music beyond the limits of the written page as all good folk musicians are apt to do. If you have been enjoying the book, it is time now to hear the tunes and the authors playing them.© Copyright 2001 Fiddler Magazine. All Rights Reserved. Used by Permission. Brian Peters (Living Tradition), April, 2002I undertake this review out of enthusiasm rather than duty. When I was sent the excellent contradance tune book The Portland Collection for review in another magazine, I became so entranced by the CD that arrived with it, that I resolved to review it in its own right for LT. It's a defiantly home-produced release, with no named label or catalogue number, and the three musicians - from Portland, Oregon - are so unassuming they don't even have a band name. What they have produced, though, is as good an example of unpretentious, beautifully -played dance music as you could ever wish to hear. Leading the line is George Penk, a terrific fiddler with precision, great rhythmic attack, and enviable sweetness in the upper register, standing comparison with far more celebrated players. Contradance ...
