Album Review
More than simply the best-selling album on the stalwart Olivia Records label and a classic of the "women's music" subgenre, Cris Williamson's The Changer and the Changed is a brilliant '70s singer/songwriter album. The simple but rich arrangements set Williamson's glorious voice and piano against strings, flute, and Jacqueline Robbins' jazz-inflected fretless bass, giving the album a timeless sound and putting the focus entirely on the songs and Williamson's elegantly passionate performance of them. All ten songs are sublime, though the opening "Waterfall," featuring some sterling Fender Rhodes work by Williamson, and the solo piano ballad "One of the Light" are the clear highlights. The album was remixed slightly and reissued in a slightly revised cover in 1977; this version is the one available on CD, but the differences between it and the original mix are minor.

so good - I was 17 and it helped soooo much!
by Georgia PeachI am straight, but this made me more woman listening to this brave and strong woman!
A powerful, gifted artist
by AwitchinsfAs a gay man newly out in the late 1970s, Cris Williamson's music deeply touched, moved, and inspired me. Listening to it now, nearly 30 years later, I again acknowledge it to be the work of a gifted musician and singer. Her voice, lyrics, and instrumentation are all timeless, elegant in composition and performance, and the music is intensely personal and spiritual to many lesbians and gays. Here's a big hug to sister Cris and all of the fabulous lesbian folksingers!
