Nancy LaMott Live at Tavern on the Green CD

Many of you know my adoration and love for Nancy LaMott -- the official release of her Live at Tavern CD came out today. For any devotee of the American Standard song book, this is a MUST HAVE recording....there has never been, nor will there ever be anyone better in interpretation of song.

Her final concert, just seven weeks before her tragic death, and the only live recording of Nancy is so pure, heartfelt and perhaps one of the best cabaret recording of all time. Sure, you can hear the fork on plates and some of the songs are on her studio releases -- but this is a must have CD.

I could go on about each song, but I won't...they are all simply devine. They simply need to be heard. Althouh the highlights (if that is even fair to say) are "I Did't Know What time it Was", "How Deep is the Ocean" and "THe Promise".

Her signature songs "Listen to my Heart" and Help is on the Way take on a new dimension knowing at the time of Nancy's health...the inner strength she has to do what she was born to do -- simply sing -- delivers some of her most poignent moments ever.....

This is a CD destined to be in your CD changer always....

*runs to amazon to buy it* Kisses and hugs to KMF.

I ordered it late last week and am just waiting for it to arrive. Swoon!

She is, without a doubt, the greatest loss the music world has known. Yes...that may sound like an overstatement...but truly. No one...and I mean NO ONE...has ever made me feel so deeply as this woman has.

Hi Kiss - do you have the CD we're talking about? if not - please get it - you will absolutely love every moment of it!

---

Kiss - any and all of her CDs are worth investing in - her voice is like honey, smooth and sweet the way it flows over you. And her choice of songs and arrangements are some of the finest you'll ever hear.

Re "How Deep Is the Ocean"
In an interview Nancy said she spent about 20 minutes sitting in a corner of a studio in frustrated tears because she couldn't "get" to where she needed and wanted to be in the song.

I'd say she got there.

---

Well she sure gets me there every time I listen to it.

Funny thing, I have recordings of so many other people singingf that song. It's always pretty, but no one gives it that much meaning.

And RedHot--you are right to praise the arrangement by Christopher Marlowe. He brings out the best in her. Anyone know what he's doing lately?

---

BUMP...you should all have this CD by now........

---

not tonight Addy...but I had to remind those who are not aware of Nancy...

---

Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!

Finally other people that know of Nancy LaMott. I got to know her music through a friend of ours who was a friend of hers as well. We (my ex- and I) immediately fell in love with her. She had the sweetest voice, and from what our friend said, she was a wonderful person as well. We had talked about going to her last concert, but for whatever reason decided against it. So sorry I never got to hear her sing live. Now I'm all melancholy...
