“I applaud June Simon for her strength and determination in continuing to work within the music community even while silenced with her own tragic illness. That generosity of spirit, I'm sure, led in part to her miraculous recovery. The song bird has returned to her roost.”
“It isn't often I have the opportunity to review someone of June Simon's, talent and caliber. This beautiful album opens with “Waltz of Love” this track took me to a riverside Café in Paris with a beautiful sunset. As the album progressed it was soon clear that the vocal talent was beyond belief. One of the songs that stands out for me is “Honolulu Sunset” this song really shows the capabilities of June Simon and her musicians, taking the album in a different direction. The quality of the album is second to non and the song structures are very strong. By the time I had got to “Quietly I Love You” I was hooked. Reading through June's life story and having now listened to “Songs of Love” it is a true honour to have been introduced to June Simon's album. She is an inspiration to others out there”.
Song: Arizona
Style: This has a warm, authentically western feel - the "loping" shuffle evokes the feel of being on horseback.
Melody: Good music in choruses Memorable "hook" * Catchy melody in the chorus. The Verse melody has a lilting quality.
Structure: Nice flow between the sections
Lyric : Cohesive Unique * I like your story...
Title: It works here- you repeat it just the right amount to establish it as a 'hook'. Overall Comments: Melody: ....That is appealing... - While this is not quite in the style of contemporary country music, you have captured the spirit of the old West here beautifully and your voice shines through as a testament to a style that we don't get to hear often enough these days.
