MARA LEVINE
" Jewels And Harmony "
( Mara Levine / Mara's Creations / Hemifran ) 2013.
CD
Folk / americana - USA
Mara Levine is a folk singer and jewelry designer out of New Jersey, and during the years, her carrear as a harmony singer deserved respectations . Many of her collegues used to say, that her voice is one of the most recognizable , pleasent and "brilliant", under the newer folkie circulation and movement. She has also released with actuelle one a 2 solo albums, firstly " Mara's Gems" in 2009 year, and newer product entitled " Jewels And Harmony ". Through 15 more or less well known songs, recorded during the folk and not only folk music history, she has given a vocal signiture, helped by artists, musicians and colegues, such as a : Si Kahn, Brothers Sun, Joe Jencks, Terry Kitchen, Bob Harris . In the center of complete story is Mara's voice, and her pleasent and colourful interpretation characterize a complete album materials in general. I would specially recomand her interpretations of 2 Paul Simon's songs - " Leaves That Are Green" and " April Come She Will ". But, " Jewels And Harmony" is undoubtely fine travelling through mentioned folk history, with also clear signiture that Mara's herself and complete team, has accepted a standards of our time. So, this is also a modern folk album.
