    Dyer-Bennett -- A Lost Classic

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 28, 2000

    I first was introduced to Dyer-Bennett'srecording while in college in the '60's.His magnificent counter-tenor voice heldimmediate appeal, but the times and thestyles of that day and this have causedhis music to have an appeal restrictedfar beyond re...ason, in my opinion. Thecounter-tenor register is simply higherthan popular taste demands.This means that those who have "populartaste" are destined to miss out on oneof the greatest voices of the 20thcentury. This album, particularly, issimply magnificent. From the classic"We'll Go No More A'Roving" to the veryfunny "Vicar of Bray", and perennialfavorite "Down by the Sally Gardens",Dyer-Bennett executes every track onthis album with technical perfection.An early pioneer in self-production,he produced and published his own albumsso as not to be limited by the standardsof manufacture for "popular taste" ofthe day. Yet he was well known in thelate '40's and '50's, which makes hiscurrent obscurity a mystery.Buy this album, and treat yourself to atruly great artistic experience. Read more Less
