Here's a taste of what's in store for you with Marieann Meringolo's exciting new CD. Below are the liner notes from:
IMAGINE...IF WE ONLY HAVE LOVE

Spirit...It's an elusive word. That invisible, intangible force that infuses the physical universe with underlying
power, with meaning, with emotion and deeper truth. You can't see it, you can't locate it in any particular place in time and space, you can't put your finger on it, but you sure know when it's there. From the first time I heard Marieann Meringolo sing, I knew that she had something special. Yes, her voice is thrilling and throaty and abundant and can soar from the highest highs to the deepest, warmest lows...Yes, she chooses great songs from a variety of genres and sings them all with terrific arrangements and an unerring sense of style...But there's something more - a deeper knowing and letting go to a larger reality that allows us to hear familiar lyrics as if for the first time, to find fresh and personal meaning in every song she sings, and most of all to experience, first hand, that ineffable, uncapturable, indescribable quality that adds such richness not only to our experience of music, but to our lives...Spirit.
