    Unique talent
  

*by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2015*

Just recently bought myself a CD version of this, after owning a vinyl copy since it was first released, circa 1972. I was not even that familiar with any of Melanie's work back then ( early 1970's), but happened to catch her live on the Johnny Carson Show in 1972 (I was 18 then), when she sang two of the songs included on this album: "Together Alone", and "Do You Believe". When she sang these on the Carson Show, it was just her and her guitar, no background band, backup singers , or orchestration (as is the case on this album). I was so blown away by her amazing voice, and the unique emotion that she put into those two songs, that I bought my vinyl copy a few days later, and have worn it out over the ensuing 43 years- I was really pleased to see it finally come out in a CD format. I have more recently also added a few of her other older CDs , including some compilation ones, to my home music library, but felt like I needed to write a brief review of this particular one, "Stoneground Words", as I personally think it may be her best.I haven't followed her career at all over the years, but still come back to "Stoneground Words" fairly often. I'd say it's a somewhat uneven effort, at least for my musical tastes, but there are several songs on this CD that are truly remarkable, and worth the purchase for either any Melanie fan, or newcomers to her past career recordings, if you are someone who appreciates both an amazing voice, and a very intensely emotional sort of music.Melanie's voice (for those who are not familiar with her) is truly unique in the history of folk-rock music. While most singer's who have a vibrato voice talent usually only showcase that at various points in any song, Melanie was/is unique in that just about every note that comes out of her throat is more than a little tinged with vibrato- it IS her normal singing voice. I don't know of any other singer that is like that.But in addition to that unique, everpresent vibrato, she has an amazing range: within any single song she will display a somewhat thin, airy, almost ethereal voice, but then when required, she shifts into a higher gear, and the sheer power of that other gear will amaze you. And she feels the music like no other, too- the powerful voice just explodes, at times when the lyric and the musical score demand an extra dose of emotion.The best example of the above (and needless to say, my favorite song on this CD), is "My Rainbow Race"- an old Pete Seeger song, and one that I think Melanie does better than anyone else (many have recorded it, over the years). When she hits the recurring refrain "It's too soon to die" in this song, her voice becomes both a powerful musical instrument, and an incredible expression of human feeling. You have to hear it, to know what I mean.Some of the songs on "Stoneground Words" are upbeat, some with a very retro-sound (with a 1940's feel to them), but the several that I like the most probably have the common denominator of affecting lyrics, a somewhat sad and sedated musical score, and the seamless variations in the quality and power of her singular voice.I'd recommend this CD to any music fan familiar with the folk-rock genre, particularly those who grew up (as I did) in the 1960's-70's, and for anyone unfamiliar with Melanie's music, if you want to experience one of the truly unique voices in the history of popular modern music.

    Melanie's voice Live is the best.
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2016*

The songs that I was very familiar with that she sung Live were very different from hearing them recorded.I enjoyed the Live versionthe best....just her voice and the guitar playing.Yet some of the recorded songs that are actually new to me,I also enjoyed.Really whenyou take a voice like Melanie's and her quitar,you don't need more "stuffing" ie.additional instruments and voices to drown out her song.Her voice is slowed and emotional and alone will bring out all the beauty in the song.
