"This is a beautiful CD! If you get a chance to pick this one up, you're going to love it!" Ron Seggi, USA Radio Network
You know Adrienne from her career as a film and television star. You've seen her in The Fog, Swamp Thing, Cannonball Run, Escape From New York, Creepshow, Back to School,and The Convent, to name a few. You met her as Maude's daughter in the hit television series Maude. Maybe you caught one of the more than hundred other television appearances she made or maybe you saw her playing Oswald's mom on Drew Carey. Right now she is starring in the fantastic HBO series Carnivale and you'd better be watching that.
But what you may not know is that Adrienne started her career as a singer. She was the original Rizzo in the Broadway production of Grease, for which she received a Tony nomination. She has a concert act which has blown away audience across the country.
That's where this cd comes in. Each of these songs was chosen because they have a personal meaning to Adrienne. She sings the hell out of them, both in her act and on the cd. As ARI Magazine says "...her rich, flexible voice, sense of rhythm, great material, fine band and the emotional kick of autobiographic touches culminate in a rousing celebration of life".
"I would like to express my sheer delight in reviewing this brand new CD from Adrienne Barbeau. Adrienne turns plain songs into gorgeous vocals. ...a breathtaking version of Marc Cohn's True Companion. She does her Grease number, "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" and some great love songs that will make your heart go pitter-patter. Truly one of the best new-found hidden talents in an actress who really can sing." Marc Willig, Marc's Musical Notes

This sex symbol has pipes!
author: JodySince the '80s, I have loved Adrienne Barbeau. She is an extraordinarily gorgeous woman, and a very talented actress. But I never knew she had such a beautiful singing voice until I bought this album! I love this CD! Adrienne brings a showtune-y edge to the folk songs she chooses, and the effect is quite lovely, and the music she creates resonates. She has a smooth, richly textured, emotive voice that is sure to win over fans of the Female Vocal genre. I hope Adrienne Barbeau makes more wonderful CDS like this one!
Leaves me wanting more!
author: JimOrdered CD from Amazon after reading (and loving) Adrienne's autobiography. I remember seeing Adrienne on "Johnny Carson" during late 70s and she sang "Easy From Now On" (recorded by Emmylou Harris). Please release a new CD soon, and include that song! P.S. Enjoying my "Maude: Season One" DVD, too!
One word to describe Adrienne and her CD...
author: MelanieWOW!! Adrienne if you read these reviews, as a long time fan of yours since your early years in film and TV on Maude...I have to say you are totally indescribably FANTASTIC! :) I wish I could meet you one day...but alas, it might be impossible, but hey, as long as I continue to enjoy your acting and outstanding voice, I will forever be a friend and fan of yours. :) Great job girl!
Yo Adrienne
author: John GregoryHer voice is very smooth and sexy, what did I expect? I love this lady. I hope she does more music. Beauty never ages.
Serendipity...what a joy to find new insights about Barbeau.
author: Pamela GibsonAn older mom myself...finally computer literate (struggling)...I find great joy in these songs revisited and am surprised to see what I never saw years ago. This cd has opened even more lines of communication with my grown kids. We are fans and will be buyers from CD Baby in the future. The song selection so varied and well done and heart felt we were all in tears at times. Serendipity. Loved the customer order confirmation. Refreshing.
Beautiful music
author: Theresa RollinsThe music on this cd is very beautiful and calming. I am really enjoying it. I've watched Adrienne for years and have always admired her. Now there is one more thing for us to admire, her lovely voice. Thank you
Love Remains, what a concept!
author: Richard Aberdeen--Nashville Session PlayersI love the song "Love Remains" on this CD, of course, I like the entire CD. I'm not familiar with who wrote this particular song, but what a great concept... and great performance to match it.
Excellent CD
author: MargieThe songs on the CD are very good. There is a little lite music and a little country. My favorite is, If I could. I find the CD relaxing to listen to. Definetly a must have!
The song "True Companion" completely cought my attention.
author: Joe McKayI've always been fan of Adrienne as an actress, but never heard her sing. Her voice and style puts life and tremendous feeling into the songs. Truely a great album. Joe McKay
This is an outstanding CD; I highly recommend it!
author: Grant PolkThis CD is an adventure, a tour of emotions and of memories. Never before have I experienced such a sweep of both thoughts and feelings expressed in sheer beauty. The music continues, perhaps because it is now a part of me. I am grateful to everyone who worked to make this CD a reality, and to bring it into my life.
Sweet
author: Daniel DworskyI enjoyed this album and I'm not sure why really. Some things just work on a different level. I'm still trying to figure out why this woman makes me cry. MY FATHER turned me into a puddle. THE OTHER WOMAN Is just perfect from beginning to end. TRUE COMPANION almost lost me in the first verse but then started to cook. I know this is Mooshy and even theatrical at times but it's so beautiful. Sniff.
