- Hello all,
-
-
- This is a combination of first and second hand information.
- I have been trying to collect Cynthia Clawson albums for a couple
- of years now, but they are *very* hard to come across. Cynthia
- released several albums in either the late '70's or early'80's.
- They were put out by secular labels (a couple on CBS, I believe)
- but the music was definately Christian. For one reason or another
- she released no music for five years or so. I have heard it was
- due to a lean or some legal problems, but I don't really know. I
- did write to her manager one time to see if I could get any old
- albums and was told that the masters were "locked in the CBS
- vault". Sounded touchy to me. It strikes me as likely that
- "Immortal" was her announcement that she was back in the game.
-
- Anyway. Her music in this earlier period was . . . how shall I
- say it. . . It sounded like it was released in the late '70's or early
- '80's. :-) While it sounds very dated compared to some of her
- newer stuff, there are a few really good albums with some
- interesting songs.
-
- I have managed to find three albums at used record stores or
- garage sales and the like. I don't have them accessible, so I can't
- give you release dates or cut titles. Here's what I have:
-
- In the Garden (1977 - 79?)
- All hymns. Pretty dated, but I still enjoy it.
- The Way I Feel (1980?)
- I really like this one. The music is slower than her
- contemporary stuff, but has some well done songs.
- The theme is her spiritual journey.
- The Finest Hour (198?)
- A couple of songs on this have almost a country sound
- to them, if I remember correctly. I got this one fairly
- recently and haven't listened to it much (yet).
-
- I think there are some others out there, but don't know the
- titles. If anyone has of the album, or lead on the albums, or even
- the names of the albums. Please let me know.
-
- Also, for those of you asking about David Maddux, First Call has
- released two popular (and very good) a capella Christmas albums.
- "An Evening in December" Volumes I and II. David Maddux either
- worked on the arrangements, or actually sings on the albums. (I'm
- thinking he actually sang.) And Cynthia Clawson has a guest solo
- on each one as an added bonus. :-) I also have an album of David
- Maddux playing his own hymn arrangements, called "Hymnpressions."
- You'll like it if you like George Winston style piano.
-
- Well I've just about purged myself of every last detail of
- Clawson/Maddux info I have. If anyone else has any more info, please
- post. Esp. album title and concert info.
-
- Hope somebody cared. :-)
-
- See ya, Steve
