REVIEWS

"...these are the songs that cross generations and cultures and suggest a hand of comfort and connection from past to present...Spielberg brings her gift for melody to the well known songs on Sea to Shining Sea: A Tapestry of American Music, creating and recreating memories and melodies, presenting them without words and giving space for listeners to add their own stories. There are twenty tracks on the disc, including three Spielberg originals, which stand up in good company with the well known pieces...it's a fine recording."
- MUSIC ROAD

This CD is a departure from many of my other recordings in that all of the tracks, (save for two)
are arranged for ensemble. There are songs on this recording I grew up singing, and there are
songs on this recording your parents grew up singing. (And I bet your grandparents and their
parents knew many of them too.) From the Civil War to the Gold Rush to the great wave
of immigration in the 1900`s, these songs chronicled journeys, hardships and love in music,
as they discovered the beauty and the majesty of America. In this tradition, a few Robin Spielberg
originals are mixed into what we call `Americana` or `Roots` selections, creating a
true tapestry of American music. My hope is that as you enjoy this music, you will
share it with the next generation of listeners. Happy listening. Happy reminiscing,
Robin
