Northwest Singer Laini Risto Lands Holiday CD TOP PICK On The World Wide Web Just ask Clint Black, Vanessa Williams, Leann Rimes or Kenny Rankin. Along with Vancouver's Laini Risto, they were also chosen among just 50 great recording artists by Christmasreviews.com for 2004. Reviewers picked them out after checking out 200 CDs this season. Reviews and recommendations are posted on that website. Produced by Laini Risto and Jim Fischer at Music Box Productions in Vancouver, WA, the CD: A Northwest Lullaby for Christmas, was mastered at Vancouver's Nettleingham Audio and released in 2003. Northwest Lullaby, the title track, was composed by Risto and Fischer. Some excerpts from reviewers: *** "Wow! Laini Risto had me from the moment she opened with her amazing acappella into Some Children See Him." *** "Risto's Magnificent alto fills the room with gentle richness, enveloping the listener in a warm embrace of folk, jazz and pop." *** "...an absolutely outstanding singer; she is somewhat reminiscent of the great Judy Garland in her prime." *** "...the title track, Northwest Lullaby is an absolute winner." *** "For a first class experience this Christmas season, consider tucking yourself in the nearest cradle for A Northwest Lullaby for Christmas." Carol Swanson All Northwest performers created the delightful sounds on this holiday CD. Where to get it? On the internet at www.lainiristo.com or www.cdbaby.com. |
