Title Song is the Prize.

We bought this CD for the title song, "An American Anthem". It is beautifully rendered by Denyce Graves and reminiscent of her participation in the memorial service at National Cathedral following the tragedy of 9/11. The other bands hold the customary patriotic hymns and anthems, presented by a...

SWEET LAND OF LIBERTY . . . from Sea to Shining Sea

This CD is truly an Anthem to America. Inspired by the trauma of the 9-11 terrorist attacks in NYC, Pennsylvania and D.C., it reminds the listener of the threads of ethnicity and courage and persistence that are woven into the fabric of our nation. The selections stir deep feelings of...

Bravo!

Yes, it is true that Ms. Graves is only on a few of the tracks of this CD; however, I believe that I, like many other people, can overlook the marketing and enjoy the whole picture. My brother received this CD for Christmas from one of my nieces. I have really been stricken with the beautiful...

Pure gold nugget

Despite the above objections, I find the recording of American Anthem by Denyce Graves, included here, to be just too beautiful to pass up this CD. For me, to have this one song alone to enjoy is worth the price.

Buyer beware

Featuring Denyce Graves on the cover was a smart move for the marketers. Just twenty per cent (3 of 15) of the offerings feature Ms. Graves. Her work on the album is wonderful, and some of the other pieces have their appeal, but if you are looking for a Denyce Graves concert, you will need to...

American Anthem

The cover leads you to believe you are buying a Denyce Graves CD. Don't believe it. She only sings in 3 songs. The rest of the CD is an amalgamation of old, worn out recordings (e.g., Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops). If you want to appreciate the real Denyce Graves....pass up this CD and head...
