Album Review
While Renaissance started to veer from prog rock to new wave pop, Annie Haslam and Roy Wood concocted this little gem to hold over the prog fans. Annie in Wonderland is whimsical, fanciful, and verging on precious. One of the highlights is the Rodgers & Hammerstein classic "If I Loved You" (which acts as a precursor for Haslam's One Enchanted Evening album). It is interesting to compare the version of "Nature Boy" on this CD with her post-Moulin Rouge interpretation of the song on One Enchanted Evening. In both versions, Haslam gets right to the heart of this beautifully soulful song. Haslam brings the pipes, Wood makes sure to keep it weird — and the result is something for early Renaissance fans who missed the band's far more interesting swing toward the mainstream. Interestingly, it would be 22 years before Haslam would release another solo album.
Customer Reviews
Most excellent
I've been in love with Annie Haslam since I first heard her back in the 70's. Arguably the finest voice in rock EVER. Whoever thought Stevie Nicks or any of those so-called divas could sing obviously has never heard Annie. A definite must-have for anyone who's a Renaissance fan or who loves to hear one helluva great voice.
A masterpiece
This was Annie's first solo project away from Renaissance. If you have ever marveled at her voice and range, you will love this album. The pieces seem perfectly selected to show her voice at its best. You would be hard pressed to fined better renditions of the standards If I Loved You or Nature Boy.
A classic, too long hidden
If you're thinking Renaissance, you're going to be surprised. While this is a splendid showcase for Annie's vocal abilities, pay attention, too, to the delightfully quirky arrangements by her then-amour Roy Wood. Balalaikas in "If I Loved You." Really!! And the marvelous Rockalise with a blues harp that is actually a harp. The album is a masterpiece.
