Incredible!.......2005-11-19

A friend of mine recommended Cris Williamson and played Waterfall for me. I remembered the song vaguely from college and when I picked up the album I was hooked. But my true appreciation for this album was at a major turning point in my life while waiting for surgery in Vibraham hospital in Bangkok Thailand. I listened to to the songs that had become, by that time, old friends, but they took on new meaning. Song of the Soul just perfectly expressed so much about the world. It led me to such acceptance of myself and forgiveness for others. In the middle of Dream Child the nurses arrived to take me for my SRS. Everything turned out wonderfully, but that morning changed me so much in how I look at the world. I still can't listen to the album without the same profound thoughts coming to my mind. I'm deeply indebted.

Like a Comfortable Friend.......2003-01-28

Like an old friend, this album goes with me wherever I go. It's just one of those albums.

Cris Williamson has a low folk voice -- smooth as satin, and yet she can make it "break" at just the right moment of expressiveness. I love the way she sings. She has one of those voices that makes it obvious ... she was born to sing.

The songs are comfortable ballads with a folk edginess, meaning NO watered down lyrics. The songs feel easy and warm, but the lyrics are clear and never dull.

The opening number, WATERFALL, will have you singing along in about three listens. It's a song about feeling good, about being kind, and about relaxing - letting go.

WILD THINGS is a lush ballad that leaves no doubt - this woman can SING like crazy.

And the album as a whole just rings "keeper" from the very first listen. It quickly becomes a staple in your music collection.

Good music and lyrics all the way.......2002-06-20

I had this album in the 80's given to me by a male friend, my daughters loved it and we learnt the words to the songs,recently we began to yearn to hear it again and have been persuing it.

The songs are classic, some will be inspired by their feminist nature but all should be impressed by the lyrics and the emotion in the music.

Totally Awesome!.......2001-12-02

I was introduced to Chris Williamson's music/women's music appoximately 12 years ago at a retreat and fell in love with it almost instantly. I had never heard any music classified as "women's" prior to that. Chris sings with such feeling...she is truly an inspiration.
I have owned the cassette for approximately 12 years and like it so much I plan to purchase a CD of it. I can honestly say I really like all, but one of the songs.
"Wildthings" is out of this world! My nieces and nephews like it too. They sing along...even the nephew that acts like Mr. Cool! When the tape is over, my nieces ask me to play it again.

IF more stars were available...100+ might do it!.......2001-10-22

Cris is the "gift" to music. She shares her heart and soul in vocal stylings that are easy on the ears, touching to the heart, and life affirming. If you have no other woman's albums...start here...you will be ordering all of her albums, none of which deviate from the superb quiality of this album. Cris is undoubtedly the finest musician never palyed on "pop" radio...if they only knew what they are missing!
