NOTE: Check out Karmyn's original tracks at www.KarmynTyler.com. Her new song Luv Me So is Number One at the PMN Top 10 chart.

Wanting to showcase the vocal talents of Karmyn Tyler, William E. Johnson set out to produce an album. Mr. Johnson wanted to remind audiences of the beautiful music of the 1930's and 40's...the music his mother played. He succeeded in every way while using the soft, sultry, yet powerful voice of an angel.

Miss Tyler is a former Miss Louisiana and talent winner at Miss America. She is a professional actress/singer and a member of the Screen Actors Guild and Actors Equity. To find out more about Miss Tyler, please visit her website at www.karmyntyler.com.

Karl Stober, an international freelance columnist and broadcaster, gave this comment about the ablum:

"Seemingly timid at times but with an underlying fire, Ms. Tyler branches out from Broadway to Opera in her execution of song. Mr. Meeks arrangements complement her style never compromising the basics of vocal jazz. Case in point is the melodic tribute to Arthur Schwartz "Dancing in the Dark/Night and Day", a marvelous effort! Ms. Tyler also demonstrates an inferno of passion as she hits the stage with Wildhorn's "Big Time", heavy and strong, powerful performance."

  • Amazing Vocalist - Amazing Album
    author: Tamara

    Karmyn Tyler is an amazing vocalist with nothing but stars in her future. This album showcases range, emotion, style and grace. The selection of songs, from Big Time to the classic Night and Day, are what any jazz lover would appreciate. A must have in any collection.

  • This is no amateur hour singer!
    author: Wayne Cook

    Karmyn exhibits a masterful mix of abandonment to the artistry and an off the cliff drive to her music that does more than draw you in. This artist propels you into a smokin' hot aural experience! I listened to this CD from end to end, without one single disappointing second. Frankly, I was having a ho hum day, but her music lifted me to emotional exuberance. One of the few CD's I've heard in the last year that I felt is a must have.

  • Timeless Beauty
    author: Brian from AudioAttitude.com

    Just when you think standards cannot be improved, Karmyn comes along and sets new ones. The timeless songs on this album return with freshness and beauty sure to delight fans of this genre. This is not just a pretty lady singing familiar songs with technical proficiency. This is a beautiful human telling stories from her soul.

  • A voice of passion, grace, & elegance framed by inspired musical arrangements.
    author: Greg Federico

    Un vocalist femelle dynamique et extraordinaire de jazz pour le nouveau millénaire! (A dynamic and extraordinary female jazz vocalist for the new millenium!) That is Karmyn Tyler. Let this songstress take you on a memorable musical journey through the 30’s and 40’s and you’ll find yourself wanting to embark again and again. From the soulful “Summertime”, to the sublime “When You Wish Upon A Star”; from the fiery “Big Time”, all the way to the mellifluous “Wait And See”. . .my CD player is on repeat mode when this CD is playing! I truly believe you will feel the same way when you listen. As if her charismatic vocal charms weren’t enough, Ms. Tyler has also teamed with and put on display her perfect musical compliment in Chris Meeks, a masterful and amazing arranger, whose musical genius here serves as the consummate frame for Ms. Tyler’s consistently flawless delivery. Together, they convincingly provide the listener passionate and elegant musical portraits of a simpler time, gone, but not to be forgotten. In summary, Ms. Tyler’s work here represents, in a current sense, a wonderfully bright state of affairs of vocal jazz music, while offering an inspired, artistic nod of reverence to its past. I highly recommend this recording to anyone and everyone who appreciates big band to Broadway and everything in between. This album proves that Ms. Tyler is natural grace embodied, class, sultry soulfulness, and dynamic star quality all rolled into one, and that she is ready to take her place among the elite of today’s pop and jazz vocalists because she is both deserving and deserved.

  • Heaven in a voice
    author: L. Heath

    Once in a while you can come across an album of music that you want to listen to over and over and this certainly is one of them. Karmyn carries all of these songs from the swinging version of Summertime to the sensational Wish Upon A Star (my favorite). Buy this CD, put it in your player - dim the lights and enjoy the journey with every memory it brings back to you.

  • An Awesome Vocalist
    author: Carla

    This is the best jazz CD I have heard in a long time. The emotional vocal style of the artist is very moving as she hits every note so superbly!! I love the arrangment of Summertime...Not the usual slow sultry style but very jazzy and unique with vocal belts that are awesome! Like none that I have ever heard and I love it!! I think Big Time is better than the original artist. Too Late Now is very "interestingly different" from the original slow operatic style!!

  • Nice variety. Great Arrangement. Great Vocal Range
    author: Bill G. in Austin

    I loved everything. The song list. The arrangement. The percussion. "Big Time" is probably my fav song on the CD if I had to pick one.

  • Great Talent Wonderful Voice & Production
    author: H Prince

    Karmyn is a wonderful vocal stylist that combines both lyric & dramatic presentation to perfection...you will enjoy both the musical arrangements & her personal treatment of all tracks...congratulations Karmyn. All my best, HP

  • Truly Gifted Artist!
    author: Michael W. Moss/Podsafe Music Hour

    This CD is a great CD made by a very talented artist. Makes me feel like I am right there on Broadway!! Definately buy a copy of this CD. You will not be disappointed!!

  • My kind of music
    author: Bob

    My kind of music! Neighbors sitting in the courtyard Sunday afternoon called out, "Turn it up!" And your rendition of "Summertime," well, if the listener isn't snapping their fingers and up and dancing, they're dead. I think even Mr. Gershwin was snapping his fingers. I love good bluesy torch and you sure have the voice. Terrific album, Karmyn. "Hot" is right. Good for you! Congratulations on your debut album.

  • America's next superstar.......Karmyn Tyler
    author: Joe Dominick

    Every so often you hear a CD that every song pulls you in deeper and deeper wanting to hear more. This is one of those CD's. The arrangments come from a variety of sources and with a voice from the heavens Karmyn hits the mark on every one of these songs! You can't help falling in love with her voice and to see her you fall in love all over again. This CD is simply amazing.

  • Incredible. Such a perfect voice
    author: James Smith - BigBee Podcast

    This CD is absolutely incredible. Whatever mood I am in, this CD makes me feel completely peaceful. I've never heard such an amazing voice.

  • Great Jazz Tunes from a Wonderful Voice
    author: Daryl Kulak (Holistic Health Nation)

    Karmyn Tyler did a great job with this CD. I like each and every song. My favorites are "Wish Upon a Star" and "Big Time." As you can tell from the song titles, she's covered a set of great jazz tunes from years gone by. You won't go wrong with this CD. Get it!

  • Took me back in time with a touch of today.
    author: Phil Uptain

    I loved every song on the CD. Karmyn was able to blast out the upbeat tunes like Big Time but was as equally remarkable on the ballads. This was the music that I listend to as a youngster because it was my parents music. Such a good mix of Broadway hits as well as moveie and just classic 40's hits. I had never heard Big Time and fell in love with it. Make Belive is my favorite. I am a saxaphone player so I really enjoyed the sax solos on a couple of numbers. The arrangements were pretty cool because it brought the old tunes up to speed with today especially the electric guitar solos. Great job with the arrangements. Wat to go Chris. Now I am going to buy tht Drifting CD. Keep up the good work Karmyn.

  • Refreshing, Classy, Power - Karmyn
    author: Rosalie Oliver

    This is the all time best Summertime I have ever heard!!! The CD goes on from there. It is refreshing to hear lyrics sung so dynamically and with so much class. The songs are songs that will take your breath away and leave you starry eyed. That has not happened to most of us in a long while.

  • Her album shines even brighter then her Miss Louisiana crown!
    author: A fellow judge from the Midwest

    Karmyn's CD captures her true art, and passion. You can close your eyes, and feel as if you have been transported to a time where all was not so fast paced. Her soft melodies, and vocals gives you the feeling that she is singing directly to you. A sign of a true artist. Karmyn has a gift, and it should be shared with all generations of people. The sky is the limit for this one of a kind true artist. I wish her continued success, and that everyone across the country and abroad will hear and appreciate her true talent.

    The CD gets better every time I listen to it. It just keeps getting better and better

  • Absolutely Grand!!!
    author: RLM from LA

    This has to be one of the best vocalist in this century. "The Stars Will Remember So Will I" brings back memories of World War II. Summertime is the most unique arrangement I have ever ever heard. The horns are fabulous and the vocalist is awesome.

  • Absolutely Breathtaking!
    author: David Vogel

    This young lady needs to be on BROADWAY!

  • Enjoyed it very much, beautiful voice, controlled, have recomended it.
    author: Brenda Miller

    Enjoyed the cd because I'm a fan of the so called older music such as Dancing in the Dark,Summertime,Make Believe etc. The choice of songs is good, like those jazzy, bluesy sounds.

  • Breathtaking
    author: Vallie (Jordan) Dunklin

    I've known Karymn for nearly 20 years. Her personality is just as awesome as her beautiful voice. At a young age, we knew she had something that none of us could have. Congradulations, Karmyn, on a job well done. Your CD will be in the car's CD player continuously!

  • FANTASTIC
    author: Pauline Walker

    Fantastic - no other word for it.

  • Awesome
    author: Telka C.

    We love Karmyn's new CD. My 10 year old daughter loves to listen to it going to school in the mornings. The CD brings back so many classics that we have loved through the years. Thanks Karmyn for allowing us to share this little bit of your talent.

  • Awesome voice!
    author: Debbie B.

    Karmyn's new CD shows off her vocal range, personality and presence! Hot songs, such as the new version of "Summertime", make this CD something that the listening public has not heard in a long time! Professionally produced and recorded, Karmyn and arranger, Chris Meeks, have hit the right note! Listen and you'll see -- watch out Streisand, Midler, Eder, and Rondstadt! A new star is on the horizon -- shining hot and bright!!!

  • Very refreshing. Excellent style and talent.
    author: Nona M. Seward

    Thoroughly enjoyed the CD. Very professional. The songs were very refreshing. Not too many I hear these days are.

  • Great Album
    author: Jeff Johnson
