Celtic Harp, accompanied by instruments ranging from the guitar to
hammered and mountain dulcimer, mandolin, piano, voice, and even

experience, and especially recommended for listening to while one
meditates, or sheds the stress from a long and difficult day. The
tracks are "Light Returning" (6:26), "Refuge from the Storm" (7:03),
"We Are the Ones" (5:41), "Innocence Recalled" (9:44), "Ancient
Forest" (7:07), "Always in my Heart" (8:53), "Prayer for Peace" (6:41)
and "Stillness at the Center" (8:26). 1 hour.

Recorded over the course of four months from October 2006 to February
2007, Golden Earrings is the collaborative effort of jazz singer Laura
Theodore and the late, great guitarist Joe Beck (who passed away in
2008 due to complications from lung cancer). Golden Earrings is a
tribute to some of America's most beloved songs - and some songs less
widely known, but nonetheless heart-touching. The beautiful musical
stylings reflect how deeply these songs touched Laura and Joe, and the
result is an album of pure audio splendor. Highly recommended for pure
listening pleasure. The tracks are "Johnny Guitar" (3:27), "Why Don't
You Do Right?" (2:25), "Take a Little time to Smile" (3:44),
"Fever" (3:55), "My Small Senor" (2:33), "Don't Smoke in Bed" (2:23),
"I Get Along Without You Very Well" (3:36), "You Was Right
Baby" (2:32), "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me" (2:59),
"Solitude" (3:10), "Everything Is Moving Too Fast" (2:05), "When You
Speak With Your Eyes" (3:17), "Golden Earrings" (3:16), "I Don't Know
Enough About You" (2:59), "What More Can a Woman Do?" (3:21), and
"Manana" (2:27).
