Once I Was A Bird - Lauren Shera CD

A major talent lying in wait....Her world-weary ruminations exude wisdom far outpacing her years on this planet"" MOKB Artful musical arrangements and compelling narrative lyricism...a fresh spin on classic folk - Consequence of Sound Lauren Shera absorbed the nuanced art of folk music while attending Chicago s Old Town School of Folk Music and it shows in her critically acclaimed album, Once I Was a Bird. Colored with tinges of Traditional, Appalachian, Old-Timey and Irish Folk, it is an album of richly textured arrangements, gorgeous melodies, and stirring poetry, that is emotionally inspired by the fragility of the human heart, and defined by Lauren s voice, which Phil Lesh (Further, Grateful Dead) describes as a voice that redefines what you thought you knew about music and touches you deep down in your soul...her voice is going to define the next generation of folk music.Additional Info: My Kind of Music: The Fabulous 50s! highlights a number of classic singles released in that era. Among the 60 tracks are the original versions of "Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be Will Be)" by Doris Day, "Dream Lover" by Bobby Darin, and "Magic Moments" by Perry Como, in addition to strong tracks by Johnny Cash, the Platters, Paul Anka, and Johnnie Ray. This enjoyable three-disc set will please any fan of easy listening and early rock & roll. ~ Al Campbell
