Customer Reviews of Demons & Angels

Amazing artist!
Alice Di Micele, a prolific singer songwriter from Ashland, Oregon, fills her new recording "Demons & Angels" with an 11 song personal journey. With the strength of an awe-inspiring two and a quarter octave vocal range, Alice shares her experience with soul, humor and plenty of heart. Along with a variety of musical styles - including blues, rock, bluegrass and jazz - and a journey of universal experience to which most of us can relate, Alice's poetry is filled with a visual imagery rich in nature's sights and sounds. "Tell Me the Way", a musically diverse tune with accompaniment on pedal steel, fiddle, and banjo, is uniquely flavored with bluegrass, jazz, and just a hint of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer-like sounds. Alice's vocals on "Find It There", inspired by the lonliness and longing shared by many of us at sometime in our lives, have a sound reminiscent of Phoebe Snow. "Alive, Awake," a very moving tune dedicated to the memory of a friend, is a particularly fine example of Alice's range - lyrically, musically and personally. With a haunting sound, it is the kind of piece that remains with the listener long after the song has ended. The "Chinook Blues" takes us along on a day in the life of an endangered species who is trying to survive in a world where clearcut forests are "pouring dirt into the middle of my home...when you muddy up my bedroom, I ain't got nowhere to spawn." The seriousness of the situation is not lost to the listener, even if the blues as sung by a fish may be an unusual approach. "Demons & Angels" will be enjoyed by discerning listeners of varied musical tastes, and will undoubtedly find a home in the collections of many music lovers. Micele has a strong, gutsy voice with buckets of attitude and confidence she must be one of the US's best kept musical secrets and "Demons & Angels" confirms her chosen path. "Spirit of the River" highlights her strong deep vocals while the compassionate "Find It There" shows a gentler more sensitive side. Ranging from radio rock through acoustic folk and bluegrass to Shelly Phillips's celtic harp on "Angel" and "Alive, Awake" she paints a multi-hewed canvas of sharp incisive lyrics delivered with passion, guts and commitment. "Demons & Angels" proves that Alice Di Micele has ace cards where others have perished. This album is one of her best, not to be overlooked. Those who enjoy the music of Phoebe Snow and Cassandra Wilson will love this album by Alice Di Micele.
