Music reviews of Heart of a Singer
Music Review: Three of the very best voices around!
Rating: 5 Stars
I can't believe I waited so long to buy this record!When you have three monumental talents like this, there is just no way to go wrong. Hazel Dickens is just a powerhouse of a singer. Ginny Hawker is my favorite singer period. And Carol Elizabeth Jones' voice is sweet without being bland.
The trio switch roles throughout the recording, with each one taking her turn on the lead. There is a variety of material here, from the traditional ("Time is Winding Up") to the new (CE Jone's heart-breaking "Let Me Go").
If you like country music, buy this now.

Description of Heart of a Singer
I've listened to Hazel Dickens and felt that my feet were leaving the ground. That exhilarating feeling of lift and flying seems to come from her soaring spirit. Other times she's nearly scared me. Ginny Hawker has moved me to tears with the deep feeling of her singing and her skill in matching word to tonal truth. And Carol Elizabeth Jones, one of our few securely rooted young singer/songwriters, arouses my warm admiration with her beautifully detailed, spacious and flowing singing. These three daughters of Appalachia, three generations of country/bluegrass/old-time mountain singers, each with their own distinct and highly developed singing style, have made a hardcore mountain vocal album for the turn of the century, one whose roots go well into the last. Singing a rare and unusual repertoire, accompanied by a superb band, Hazel's dynamic and unfettered bursts of brilliance, Ginny's emotional steady rocking intensity and CE's stately and supple artistry combine in duets and trios to create a sound that is by turns lush, stark, hard-edged and tender." --Jody StecherThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media.

Hazel Dickens has one of those voices that grab you with the first note and never let go. Vastly influential if far from famed, the robust West Virginian here is the centerpiece in a trio in which her two younger singing partners--Virginian Ginny Hawker and Kentuckian Carol Elizabeth Jones--are clearly under her sway. Backed by a crack crew of acoustic players, the complementary trio split up lead-vocal duties, with Hawker stepping to the fore on five selections, while Dickens and Jones each take center stage on four numbers. Dickens contributes a couple of originals, and Jones chips in one of her own, but the threesome mostly dig deep to come up with choice covers, with Woody Guthrie's "Forsaken Lover," the traditional "Times Are Not What They Used to Be," and the Civil War lament "Not a Word of That Be Said" standing out. This is mountain music that's as old as the hills and as fresh as spring water. --Steven Stolder
