It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This.......2005-07-23

I came across this CD randomly on the streets of New York and bought it because it looked interesting. Three years later, I still listen to it every day and consider Melanie Doane to be my favorite artist. I highly recommend all of her CDs, but it just doesn't get any better than Adam's Rib. Every song is beautiful, unique, powerful, and a true pleasure to listen to. She has a remarkable voice, plays multiple instruments, and writes or cowrites all of her music. Talent like this is so rare. From the title song, "Adam's Rib," a cleverly feminist tune, to "Happy Homemaker," a song about desiring the lifestyle of a stay-at-home mom (which she wrote before becoming a mother herself), this CD is one of those rare gems that doesn't have a single song that is less than fabulous. It was never fully released in the U.S., but some of us Americans have been lucky enough to come across it in unusal places, or have heard one of her songs on a TV show such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." Wherever you are from, if you are reading this, you have now heard of Melanie and should purchase this CD immediately!

One of Canada's finest...worth looking for.......2004-05-13

I happened to catch the title track for this album courtesy MuchMusic back in 1998 when it was first out in Canada...the video was intriguing...the song was even more intriguing. On the strength of the title track I hunted down the CD...I had to buy a second one because my wife constantly had the first copy in her car player...excellent stuff from start to finish. Sure, there's a temptation to compare her to Sarah McLachlan. Dio yourself a favor and forget for the time being that Sarah is as wildly successful as she's been and put the headphones on. This album is full of greatness...lyrically and musically. Melanie's violin and a silky smoothy voice make for a totally different experience than that of Sarah or any of the other female success stories from Canada. This album was released the following year in the US, and whoever was in charge of promoting it dropped the ball because by all rights Melanie Doane should have a Grammy collection to go with her Junos and East Coast Awards (she comes from Halifax). "There is No Beautiful", "Goliath", "Happy Homemaker", "Tell Me How You Cried", "Good Gifts", and any other song on this album...pure enjoyment. It's shameful this album never got its due in the US. Spend some time listening to Canadian radio and she's regarded as the star she is in her home country. After this album, pick up her latest, "You re What You Love," and if that doesn't convince you as well, get her "Melvin Live" CD and hear what Canadian audiences have known for almost a decade...that Melanie Doane is a Canadian treasure. BUY THE CD...you won't regret it.

Under Your Spell.......2003-10-14

I wasn't planning on writing a review of this cd, as the only track I have heard is "I Can't Take My Eyes of You." It is exceptionally beautiful, even if it is about a television. I like television. Then, I read the review by the fan from Boston (as did K Nixon. You rock, by the way). I heard this song on the disputed Buffy episode, "Family," written and directed by my idol of the craft, Joss Whedon. Why does the fan from Boston hate this episode so much? Is it because it features Willow and Tara, a lesbian couple? The reviewer refers to Willow & Tara as Joss's fantasy girl-girl couple. Right. Clearly, this person does not know a thing about Joss Whedon. I may not know him personally, but I know him better than the reviewer, and I know that this is in no way what Will & Tara are to Joss. If this reviewer had read one thing Joss has said about the couple, he/she would know this too. I also take dispute with the dismissal of the character Tara as boring. Tara is my favorite female character, and she is simply amazing, as is Amber Benson, the actress behind the character. Amber moves and speaks with a grace that is rare to see. She is also a beautiful person in many other ways. She may not smack down with demons or get the wittiest lines, but boring? I would never even think it. So, back to "Family." As is shown in the title, the episode is about the love between each member of the gang, and in particular the love between Willow and Tara. As they dance to Melanie Doane's song, their love is almost a physial presence in the room. The scene is so beautiful, I truly can't take my eyes off them.

The world needs to know about Melanie Doane.......2002-11-03

I picked this album up by chance on the streets of New York. In fact, I bought it along with 8 other CDs as part of the vender's 3 for $1 deal. I figured maybe I'd kinda like one of the CDs. Little did I know Melanie Doane's Adam's Rib would become my favorite CD of all time. I listen to it nonstop, everywhere I go, never getting tired of it. It is the only CD (and I have yet to hear her others; they probably are an exception to this statement) of which I absolutely love every single song. Her music reminds me of all my previously favorite musicians at times : Jewel, Sheryl Crow, Shawn Colvin. I cannot believe hardly anyone has heard of Melanie in the United States, that this Cd is hiding under piles of others on the streets of NYC. Melanie should be the most played musician on the radio ... and I am confident that eventually she wil be. Please, please, please buy this CD. And for those of you who already own it but haven't read the liner notes carefully, I want to point out that "I Can't Take My Eyes Off You" is dedicated to her television set. Brilliant.

Superb!!.......2002-06-29

I loved this CD and especially because of her song "I Can't Take My Eyes Off You" which was aired in the Buffy episode "Family". This has basically become the theme song for Willow and Tara, who are the best characters on the show, without a doubt. This is an awesome CD! Go get it!! ^^

p.s. This is to: A music fan from Boston, MA USA

You have no idea what you're talking about. Quit your whining before I sick Willow and Tara on you. Bye bye.
