"What Matters" is endorsed by Matthew's parents and The Matthew Shepard Foundation, GLAAD, GLSEN and several other organizations.100% of the proceeds benefit the Matthew Shepard Foundation, started by Matthew's parents after their son's death. The goal of the Foundation is to replace hate with understanding and compassion. To date, the benefit single has raised over $25,000 for the Foundation.

  • I can't stop listening
    author: Jason Lintner

    I saw Randi perform in person at a confrence - and loved her style enough to buy 'The Play'. I have to tell you that this is one of the best new artists I have found in the past years. I love this album and hope that everyone will support her to write, produce and make a new CD available to follow up. This CD is infectuous and I can not stop listening to it. I can not also stop buying it and sending it to my friends who enjoy my taste. BEWARE Randi, I may run out of cash soon!

  • A Keeper!
    author: Charlie

    Anyone for female singer-songwriters? Then go and buy this one. Beautifully sung, smooth melodies and nice concept throughout the artwork. My collection would have a great gap without Randi's CD.

  • beautiful music about life and love
    author: Sharon

    The songs are beautiful; her delivery is passionate and haunting ... wonderful for a quiet evening with a glass of wine.

  • This CD is amazing - beautiful and moving...
    author: K.Lee

    I love this CD. Every song is beautiful, and the combination of the great lyrics and Randi Driscoll's amazing voice makes them all the more. My favorites are "Breathe" and "The War," but in spite of all the times I've listened to "What Matters," it still moves me every time. Thank you Randi for your beautiful songs and talent, and thank you CD Baby for sending it to me!

  • Music to Live By.....
    author: Karen M.

    This is a remarkable CD. I actually bought it as a gift for my partner, but I love it so much that I keep stealing it back from her to listen to in my car! Thank you for this beautiful, meaningful music. And thanks to CDBaby as well, as I was unable to find this CD locally. You are providing a much needed service.

  • Amazing, intelligent, fun, classic!

  • One of the best albums I own!
    author: April Hope

    I got this CD quite a while back and I still haven't found the words to describe Randi's talent and genius. Her voice is breathtaking and her songs heartbreaking. This is definitely one of my "desert island" CDs. Favorites are "Beautiful Disaster" and "Saving Grace."

  • Phenomenal! With Randi's soothing voice and powerful lyrics this album couldn't
    author: Tori R

    Amazing! Beautiful lyrics and melody. I love the pieces and the stories within them! I feel like I can relate to some of the songs which makes them more meaningful as well. To point out a few tracks: "What Matters" is deeply moving and very well done, "Be Easy On Me" has a wonderful accompany, and "Saving Grace" has great lyrics! I've enjoyed this record immensly and would buy another album by Randi in a heartbeat. Driscoll has a very soothing voice and mixed with her powerful lyrics this CD is a great item to have on hand. Phenomenal!

  • Beyond Words
    author: Chayse H

    This CD is among the favorites in my CD collection. Very rarely do I get a CD like Randi’s where I like every song on the entire CD. Her performance is so powerful and uplifting. The songs are motivating and inspiring. A great CD.

    author: Matt Morris

    The Play is a fantastic work of art. Randi's voice is captivating. This is quickly becoming one of my top favorites.

  • Beautiful and inspiring
    author: The Play

    The Play is fantastic! From beginning to end, the songs are well-written, beautifully performed and reach far beyond what most current artists could ever hope to do! I have played the CD over and over again since I got it; this CD is one of the few that I will never let go of...

  • Inspiration of Dreams...
    author: Brandon

    Randi and Noah are two of the most amazing muscians, bringing hope and inspiration through their music. Personally, this cd CD has helped me further my love for music and has created a whole new dimension for my songwriting. This cd is truly a necessity for everyone, because it not only carries a beautiful melody, but also carries a beautiful message that everyone should hear...

    author: Jamie Broadwell

    Her new CD is captivating. I can listen to it over and over again. I especially love "Beautiful Disaster" and "Breathe".

  • OH MY GOD!
    author: Will D.

    This CD is probably the most amazing thing I have heard in a long time. Randi's vocal and piano ability is unbelievable! I love this CD and I listen to it ALL the time... Plus if you ever have the chance to see her live jump at it!

  • Beautiful singing and songwriting.
    author: Andrea Klores

    "Be Easy On Me" is one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard, and it alone is worth far more than the price of this CD. Can't say enough about it, not to mention the rest of the songs in this "play" filled with beautiful singing and songwriting.

  • Excellent!
    author: Malinda

    Love the cd, every song and Randi has an incredible voice.

  • Amazing and soul moving
    author: Teri

    The Play is by far the most emotional moving music you will have ever heard. It is current and keeping with the modern style of Jewell and Sarah Mclachlan. 'Breath' is just one of the songs that melodically stay with you hours after you have listend to it. Randi's voice is like an angel and her words will touch your soul. I love listening to it anywhere be it car or home.

  • Inspiring
    author: jean

    Can't possibly miss a near-extraordinary voice. This cd, The Play, unveils gorgeous songs, intelligent rhythms and very good lyrics - all sung and played with confidence and beauty. It amazes me how with articulation and strength of musical character this record re-emerges, indeed every time I listen to the pieces. Randi DRISCOLL is probably as high as Sarah McLachlan or Amy Grant in terms of songwriting and overall quality of production. Of course, there are various moods throughout and you can't ignore the excellent accompaniments. A singer to keep an eye on, Driscoll's songs are as attractive and inspiring as her unpretentious beauty and lively presence on a stage.

  • Randi's "The Play" is the most beautiful music!
    author: Theresa

    I recieved my copy of The Play as soon as I could and for the past 4 months it hasn't left my cd player! If your the type of person who loves lyrics that describe your own emotions this is it!!! Every single song on "The Play" speaks to my soul. It's not often an artist can do that for me!
