Music reviews of Amaze Me: Songs in the Key of Peace

Music Review: I LOVE THIS ALBUM!
Rating: 5 Stars

I recently borrowed this CD from a friend and now I plan to buy several copies of my own to give away as gifts. There are so many great things about this record. First, the songs are amazing (no pun intended) and inspiring! Second, the CD has introduced me to a bunch of new songwriters who I didn't know about before. Third, proceeds from the album go to groups working for peace. Rarely do I like compilation CDs, but these songs were thoughtfully chosen. I really recommend it. Also, all of the songs and their lyrics are on the website, so you can check it out before you buy! If you like any of the artists on the CD: Kris Delmhorst, Brenda Weiler, Edie Carey, Ellis, etc. I think you'll like this CD just as much!

Description of Amaze Me: Songs in the Key of Peace

AMAZE ME: SONGS IN THE KEY OF PEACE is a grassroots benefit CD of women's voices for peace. The album features thirteen songs by independent singer-songwriters from across the US. All proceeds (100%) are being donated to organizations that support peace, justice, and free speech. Beneficiaries include Women Against Military Madness (WAMM), Veterans for Peace, CodePINK, and Democracy Now.

This is a collection of songs by musicians who love their country and believe the US can be a leader for peace in the world. In a time when it's said to be unpatriotic to use the very freedoms we are trying to protect, these women are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in. The songs cover a lot of ground, from kindness and lullabies to guided missiles and the Patriot Act. Some issue a direct challenge for a better America while others invite the listener to imagine peaceful alternatives to our current course of action. Most are recent creations, although a few date back 10-15 years with messages that are still relevant today.

The project came together through a collaboration of musicians and concerned citizens who wanted an alternative to the voices they were hearing in the mainstream press and radio: primarily male voices arguing for pre-emptive attacks and military budget increases. In a time when corporate radio heads banned the Dixie Chicks for exercising their First Amendment rights, this concerned group wondered what other voices were being silenced.

They decided to find those voices and create a way for them to be heard, with the proceeds going to other organizations working for peace. They sent out a call for submissions and received 86 songs from independent artists. The group members donated their time and resources to help make the benefit album a reality, and their spirit of volunteerism has been contagious. Many individuals and businesses donated resources or offered their services at greatly reduced prices to support the cause.

The CD hits the streets on October 7th, 2003 and will be available nationally at many retail locations around the US as well as on the web. Order the CD today!
