 Rating:  - How is it that I've ........................................never heard of Karryn Allison until just now? I am nearly 60 years old and love love love "musica brasileira" from almost anyone who can pull off a good recording. This CD is just amazing, and I've heard lots of artists try to record these songs. I spent 2 years in Brasil many years ago and loved what I heard so have always loved the music. Karryn has a great voice and I am going to go seek out other things she has done. Great CD!! Rating: - Karrin outdoes the BraziliansI believe I own all of Karrin Allyson's recordings. I also own a lot of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Gilberto Gil, Egberto Gismonti, Laurindo Almeida, et al. So when I ordered this CD from Amazon, I also ordered a Bebel Gilberto recording and one by Morelenbaum2/Sakamoto. I found the Allyson recording, in total, to be the most satisfying of the three.

Very well done! Rating: - Welcome back KarrinAt last an All Brazilian album, even bravely attempt to vocalize one of my favorite Jobim songs:Estrada Do Sol which I believe should always be an instrumental. Karrin's sweet and fragile(in a good way) voice is all over the album. I didn't think much of the last two CDs....so I'd say- Boa Vinda Outra Vez, Karrin! |
