Joanne -
I gotta tell you that after listening to these great songs, there is one song that I think you would do serious justice to (and one of my favorites - of course, my friends keep telling me they're all my favorites because I just love music). That would be Skeeter Davis' "End Of The World".

I agree with John.

There is a potato chip (crisp) advert which says: "Nobody can eat just one!" That's true of your music too. Nobody can choose just one!
I consider you to be the ambassador of PG Music and I've marveled at your advancement in songwriting, singing, guitar playing, and entertaining. Your fans are growing exponentially because you radiate sincerity and love.
I've noticed that you are generally first to throw a lifeline to fellow BIAB users. That does not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

Only listened to a couple of tracks so far (Stand by Me and Killing Me Softly), but I love what I'm hearing. I really find the harmonies beautiful and there is some great use of modern techniques floating around. BIAB is very subtle too. Love it!
At some point, I'd love to know how you sorted out legally releasing covers. Who knows, maybe one day. :-)
Edit
I have now listened to the whole CD several times and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Joanne listening now - just a quick note - the Youtube page for Make You Feel My Love says it's a Garth Brooks song - but it's one of my favourite Dylan songs (I assume Garth Brooks covered it? Billy Joel also did a nice version).
You have done a very enjoyable version.
The ones I've listened all sound very nice. A good solid selection of tracks.
I don't know but really liked Loving Arms.

Don is right! It's so hard to choose just one.
I love the treatment you have given to all of the songs I have listened to so far (about half way through).
...but if I had to choose, my favourite 2 so far are:
Killing Me Softly (sweet harmonies)
What a Wonderful World
All the best,
Jez
P.S. John's song suggestion would be a great one. Another favourite of mine is Bonnie Raitt's "The Dimming of the Day". Love the harmonies.

I was going to recommend "Dimming Of The Day" to Josie as sung by Emmylou Harris and Mary Black, two of Jo's favo(u)rite female vocalists. @Jez, is your last name Wakefield, per chance? Jezzer Wakefield, Mac of this forum, and I go way back. You needn't give your name if it's not you. Jezzer was from London and knew recording in detail.

Callie, John, Mario, Don, Lambada, Peter, Jez (Receder) and Mike.
Thank you so much for listening and for your kind comments.
John thank you for reminding me of "The end of the world". I will definitely do a cover of that. I love that song! I really enjoy getting recommendations on what covers I should do because half the time I have forgotten about songs that I used to know quite well. "Mother of mine" was one of those.
Peter, Make you feel my love.... I generally just put the person who first made the song famous in the video title. This makes the song easily discover-able by people searching on Youtube. Eg. Killing me softly was written in collaboration with Lori Lieberman who released it before Roberta Flack. Flack's version made the song famous. it probably wouldn't help me much if I had put "Killing me softly by Lori Liberman in the title. So this is a tough one. Who made this song famous? Probably Adele? I did not know that Billy Joel covered it. Have just listened. Nice version!
Rec. I do cover "Dimming of the day" but I need to redo the backing. It was a little "slow"

And interestingly, "There's A Kind Of Hush" brings Herman's Hermits to mind for me (although Karen Carpenter did a great job on it as well).
There's just something about the way Peter Noone enunciates the word "hush" that just makes it for me.
Again, great work Joanne!

Ah I love Mary Black and Emmylou Harris but I haven't heard their version (will seek it out online though). I remember buying Mary Black's Shine album and playing it non-stop for months (love her track Katie). I notice that she has a best of album out with a track called Sonny by Mary Black, Emmylou Harris and Dolores Keane (I listened to this online and one of them sounds remarkably like you Joanne). Sorry Don I'm not Jezzer Wakefield. All the best, Jez

Hi Joanne, I love "Mother of Mine" too. As well as Neil Reid's version, Hayley Westenra did a lovely rendition. I will look forward to your version of "Dimming of the Day"  Jez

Well, this is an education. I have just listened to that version. Nice. I suppose it boils down to who you listened to growing up and I grew up listening to a lot of Carpenters!
I remember buying Mary Black's Shine album and playing it non-stop for months (love her track Katie). I notice that she has a best of album out with a track called Sonny by Mary Black, Emmylou Harris and Dolores Keane (I listened to this online and one of them sounds remarkably like you Joanne).
Love Mary Black. I do a cover of Sonny. Have been listening to Mary Black's 25 years 25 songs. Katie is definitely a winner. I am going to try and learn that one. Also love Wonder Child and Rose of Allendale.
I love "Mother of Mine" too. As well as Neil Reid's version, Hayley Westenra did a lovely rendition.
Jez
Have just listened to Hayley Westenra's version. What a voice! Funnily enough many of those songs are on my "shortish list" that I am brainstormed recently for my next album. Here it is for interests sake. (Only going to be starting this in 2017) 1. Mr Tambourine man 2. Greensleeves 3. Four strong winds 4. Tomorrow is a long time 5. 500 miles 6. I know I'll never find another you 7. Amazing grace 8. Scarborough fair 9. Mother of Mine 10. Sonny 11. Perhaps love 12. The Carnival is Over 13. Its only a paper moon 14. Somewhere over the rainbow 15. Hello in there 16. Tecumseh Valley 17. Angel from Montgomery 18. Mr Bojangles 19. Teach your children 20. Early morning rain 21. Blowin' in the wind 23. Edelweiss 24. I could have danced all night 25. The water is wide 26. Wayfaring stranger Ps. the dog on the cover is too cute... Hi Will, that would be my gorgeous dog Findlay who always accompanies me on all my photo and video shoots.

Great job on this Josie. The songs were all excellent so the best way for me to choose came down to selecting a song that stood out from the list as a favorite song - Loving Arms was it for me. All are so good.

Josie, another song suggestion that is popular at weddings is Anne Murray's "Could I Have This Dance". You would absolutely OWN it! On "Teach Your Children", CSN&Y use a PSG that literally grabs my ears. Can't wait to hear your rendition. https://youtu.be/EkaKwXddT_IJerry Garcia is playing the PSG. Donny

Hi, Joanne !
Congratulations on a
superb record !
I have to agree with those
who have said that it is
very difficult to pick a favourite
out of these marvellous pieces
but, if I have to, I think it could
be Wonderwall . but, I want to point
out that they are all absolutely
wonderful in every aspect ! You know
that I just love those harmonies
you and Karen can produce when duetting !
Absolutely fantastic !
I hope that you will have great success
with this lovely record !
Take Care
Dani
