CD – Sundays in the South – 30 Selected Poems Set To Music
By Tamara Martin & Vernice Quebodeaux
CD ($9.95) – 30 Poems set to Music)
As an essential companion to the book, Sundays in the South, we offer a special limited edition CD. Now there is the chance not only to read the poems and look at the many beautiful photographs but to hear Tamara’s wonderful voice set to music.
In this CD – Sundays in the South – 30 Selected Poems set to Music, Tamara has chosen 30 poems that are indicative of the entire book. They cover the whole range and all are set to beautiful music from Erik Satie, Mike Sahagian, John Shirbon, David Hughes and Michael Linnard.
The CD also marks the recording debut of Tamara, who until this CD had never set foot in a recording studio in her life. Mike Sahagian, a vastly experienced session keyboard player and recent Britney Spears touring keyboard player, engineered the recording and was amazed at Tamara’s speed, precision and fabulous recorded voice.
Tamara’s many years as a community theatre actress and her lovely innate Southern soothing voice provided the experience and natural gift to add an extra magical dimension to the poetry, which must be heard and experienced.
Many of the poems will move you to tears and others will make you laugh out loud with each passing poem. For those who already have the book the poems will already be very familiar, but to hear the author read them will enhance your enjoyment immeasurable. You will never tire of listening to them.
