any other orgers picked up this great album and stunning vocals of antony and his band the johnsons. "I am a Bird Now " has some wonderful songs but antony has the most incredible voice i have heard in years. the lyrics are interesting to say the least (transgender) but the songs are so beautiful, you cannot help loving it.

I listened to samples at Barnes and Noble after having read about him in a British music mag. I didn't buy it, then went back a few days later and the one copy they had was gone.
It's very different. I can't decide if it would grow on me or if later I would think what the hell did I buy this for?
The fact that Boy George guests on it caught my attention.
Should I get it do you think?

yes. you should. i love it. BananaCologne loves it too.

there's also a song with the male Joni Mitchell Rufus Wainwright on it.

Fantabulous!

Been meaning to get this for awhile. Sounds wonderful. He keeps getting compared to Nina Simone so that has to be a good thing.

I saw him live once. Thought it was a little pretentious, but also kind of amazing. His voice does seem like it might be hard to get through on a full CD, but I think I'll check it out.

i dig it.

Thanks! I did pick it up. It's unlike anything I've ever heard before.
Very ethereal and almost mysterious. i do think it will grow on me.
The booklet that comes with it is almost spooky. Makes me curious to learn more about him/her.
