Sorry Africa.......2006-12-18
An intelligent and beautiful CD from a remarkable talent who deserves a bigger audience.
Tony Bird: A talent of pulsating intensity and brilliance.......2006-11-25
I have been an aficianado of both folk music generally and folk of South African origin particularly for nearly thirty-five years and am thrilled to see that artists such as Wendy Waldman, Dianne Ponzio and Tony Bird (among many others) are again recording as well as being paid the attention they so richly deserve.
Quite simply, one need only to listen to Mr. Bird's "Sorry, Africa" to appreciate this man's genius.
I heartily recommend that every folk music enthusiast and every admirer of musical creativity own this remarkable album. It simply must be heard to be believed. That Mr. Bird is now performing in the USA after many years' absence from the stage is a bright blessing indeed!
LISTEN TO THE STARS, YOU WON'T BE SORRY.......2005-07-31
Tony Bird is Malawi-born, Zimbabwe-raised now living outside of Africa. He is a singer songwriter whose musical talent offers a wonderful fusion of his African heritage combined with folk-rock and even country licks. Tony Bird is a very talented and gifted singer with a sooty and indelible voice. He delivers his songs with an unique and interesting yet always catchy nasal
twang. Tony Bird has a knack for creating and delivering picturesque images of his native lands found in songs such as "Rift Valley" and "Athione Incident".
Tony Bird covers a vast and incredibly varied terrain on this CD. His song ripple with a sweet breeze across the dessert and yet there is the surging of the mighty Zambezi River too.
Sorry Africa is a CD of hope and wonder. Tony Bird is a scatterling of Africa and his songs sing out for his land. Each song on Sorry Africa seems to represent a different facet of the land he loves. His optimism is evident in every song. Bird sings songs of unity and coming together. His music is a
wonderful upbeat synthesis of spirituality, politics and nature of the land he loves and misses. This is a fine CD. Listen to the stars. The stars are the greatest hunter as they whisper from afar " Go out and buy it" Tssik Tssik Tsa!!! Your ears will thank you!

Zambezi water comin' down.......2004-12-20
I heard Tony Bird in person about 25 years ago and bought his record "Tony Bird of Paradise" right after the show. I lllloved it and played it over and over again; it transported me into a state of ecstasy. I could imagine the birds, animals, vegetation, and natives of Africa around me and I could vicariously enjoy their enthusiasm for life while listening. His songs 'Bird of Paradise' and 'She loves someone' were my favorites. I gave this album only 4 stars because those two songs aren't on it. Still I like 'Mango time' and 'Zambezi Zimbabwe'. This guy has a funny nasal voice, but his singing seems to capture some of the native color of southern Africa.
