Emmylou Harris: Alone and forsaken
"sad and soul full"  (Cynthia Marsha on Youtube)  "it's a really a sad but good song by Hank Williams. It has chords that are easy to make, all of us amateurs can play it." (www.classic-country-song-lyrics.com)  "If you can’t help but love vintage vocal stylings" (www.causeascenemusic.com)
"The grass in the valley is starting to die
And out in the darkness the whippoorwills cry"

Neil Young: Comes a Time
""They all sound the same", schreit jemand aus dem Publikum. "It's all one song", antwortet Neil Young" (www.laut.de) "He also found a backing vocalist in a young Nicolette Larson, whose harmonies added a little extra magic" (stuckinthepast08.blogspot.de) "a great old tune, I pretty much wore the groove off the vinyl on that one back in the day. I'll have to try it out on my wife when she gets home" (Richard Peikoff/www.acousticguitarforum.com)
"Ohh, this old world keeps spinning round
It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down"

M. Hederos & M. Hellberg: Hang on to a Dream
"ätherisches Schattenspiel, aus dem alle flowerpowerige Leichtigkeit verschwunden ist." (Michael Engelbrecht) "Gemeinsam fällt ihr Blick ins Dunkel." (Oliver Ding/www.plattentests.de) "Und dann singt er. Herzerweichend."  (hh/musikexpress)
"What will I try, I still don't see why
She says what she does"

Diana Ross: My Baby (My Baby My Own)  
"Was daran erotisch sein soll ist mir unerklärlich. Was für eine jämmerliche Einödigkeit."  (remember/www.hitparade.ch) "dominated by songs with motherhood in mind. On the atmospheric “My Baby (My Baby My Own),” Diana is again the pensive single mother abandoned by her baby daddy. Her woeful moans toward the fade are a bit affected"  (Rashod Ollison/hamptonroad.com) "and I grew up with a mother who had babies crawling on her head and spitting up on her when she was wearing gorgeous, expensive things, and it was never an issue." (Daughter Tracee Ellis Ross)
"deep in my darkest night
you are my only light"

King Crimson: One Time
"Any other band with Crimson's aspirations would die to make an album this amazing" (trouser press) "die kompromißlerischen Phasen, in denen Fripp die ratternde Eismaschine kurz pausieren ließ und Adrian Belew anhub, schmachtvoll "One Time" zu singen" (Christoph Dieckmann) "wie anno dunnemals düstere Mollpassagen" (Oldie-Markt)
"I've been waiting for the sun to come up
waiting for the showers to stop"

Michel Godard: Preghiera
"Dreams of leaving time?" (M.G./booklet) "We entered on tiptoe - as it becomes a church. Fascinated, respectful but also in awe and fear, filled with humility" (Pino Minafra) "eine weite Ebene erstreckt sich in die Unendlichkeit, trocken und flach - mit dem Ambiente eines Niemandslandes liegt sie da, in starrer Lautlosigkeit" (www.intro.de)
"Les eaux coulent en larmes"

The Webb Brothers: Some velvet Morning
"Somebody had said to me "What is the song about?" and I said, "It's about three and a half minutes"" (Lee Hazlewood/booklet) "Read up about Phaedra, a Greek tragedy. This song is a warning." (eddiebaby58 on YouTube)  "He thought she was singing "And how he made it in" and what she was singing was "And how she made it end", E, N, D." (Lee Hazlewood)
"And how she gave me life
And how she made it end"

Duke Ellington: The Village of the Virgins
"Rain drawn up from the Sea" (Stanley Dance - Liner Notes Suite "The River") "oft gerade zum Gegenteil geworden: zu einer zufälligen (zuweilen etwas ziellos überfrachteten) Sammlung von Miniaturen." (Hans-Jürgen Schaal  - JazzZeitung) "we always ask ourselves, when a great composer's output is closed by his death: what else might he have done, if he'd lived longer, if his life had taken a different shape?" (Terry Teachout, interviewed in "Musical Exchange!")

Scott Walker: Tilt
"Man sollte "Tilt" nur hören, wenn man gerade nicht Selbstmord als Lösung aller Probleme ins Auge gefaßt hat"  (Thomas Mießgang)  "verstörend, unheimlich."  (Rolling Stone) "zieht bei genauerem Hinhören gnadenlos in die Tiefe, in schwarze Abgründe" (Intro)       
"what she feels
so deep
she will never
show'"

Ben Harper: Touch from your Lust
"der ewigen Suche nach dem Guten im Schlechten" (Jonathan Fischer) "what Harper does best ... imitations ... Unfortunately, what he does best is not particularly relevant in the musical world." (Piero Scaruffi)   "Als einziger Fixpunkt bleibt Harpers jaulend emotionale Stimme, die auf Dauer auch etwas anstrengend wird." (Lukas Heinser/www.plattentests.de)
"So much sweeter than all the rest
You're what lies between pain and death"                                                                                                                                  WINCHESTER

Lou Reed: Who am I (Tripitena's Song)
"Why am I drawn to do what I should not?" (L. R., Booklet) "My soul cries" (Daniel Paulik on YouTube) "Eu sei que gosto de sonhar muito / E pensar em outros mundos que não são - I know I like to dream a lot / And think of other worlds that are not" (letras.mus.br)
"There are some lines that I could trace
To memories of loving you
A passion that breaks reason in two"

Lou Reed: Perfect Day
