I have really been enjoying this CD. Annie sounds great! I have always loved these songs and it's a treat to hear them again whenever I want. It takes me back to a time when I would go see Annie perform in cabaret rooms around New York. This CD is almost as good as being back there then.

I love this CD! Annie Dinerman’s 1,001 American Nights is in large part (but not entirely) an homage to the pop music of the late 50’s and early 60’s--music you can sing along to and feel good about. The difference? Both the lyrics and the music are intelligent, catchy and poignant, straight out of the Carole King school of songwriting. And not only that, this girl can SING! Think Carole King meets Laura Nyro with a dash of Dusty Springfield. From the first note, you know you are in for an unusual ride. Theatrical and magical, not unlike the soundtrack to a smash hit Broadway musical, Annie captures your heart and “soul” with her New York based, single girl reminiscences like “Halo Round My Heart” about teenage love a cappella style, or the worldwide women’s anthem “Same All Over”. Then, just when you think you’ve got this artist pegged, she offers up a gritty folk rock ballad, “Greasy Spoon”, or the award-winning, “Magdalena, No”, that you can’t stop humming for days; the heartfelt prayer we all share in “The Child in Me Again” and the haunting cinematic short story, ”The Lady Down the Hall”. Annie’s lyric sheet reads like a book of poetry. This is not your typical 21st century female artist. Annie Dinerman is one of a kind! I’ve listened to the CD four times, already, and it just keeps getting better!
