I am totally blown away by the magnificence of your album. The depth of the subject matter coupled with the musical beauty is awesome!
I like them all, but my favorites are: "Sedona", "Divine Right Action", and your arrangement of "Across the Universe!"

Becky Durango has a voice, at times, so delicate and pure, it feels much like a whispering assurance. It is this gentleness that serves her well on her debut CD Remember Who You Are. Durango captures the strength of stillness and the mood of serenity in such highlights as Truly, Sweetly; Closer and Closer; Divine Right Action; Communion and the Beatles classic Across The Universe. I hope an entire CD of prayerful chants is planned for a future recording.

Becky Durango is not only a brilliant songwriter, she is a true musical spiritual soul. Her newest recording, "Remember Who You Are"
speaks to anyone and everyone who is on or seeking to be on a journey of inner exploration. Her songs (most written by her, others with fellow artists and a couple by folks she clearly has made a musical spiritual connection with) "neatly" divide themselves into categories: story songs, affirmation hymns, and meditations.
If she had only written amazing material, that would be enough. But her compelling voice changes and moves between songs -- daring us to seek those changes within ourselves. The voice of the sweetest angel can summon us to our own purest plane...the mature woman's voice tells us stories that bring our own struggling voice a place to live...the fun and rollicking sprite' voice reminds us that, after all, life is a wonderful place to have a glorious ride this time around.
If Bonnie Raitt is reading this, she should immediately listen to "The Angel In You". I can't imagine a female recording artist who doesn't want to cover this song! And speaking of covers -- have Lennon and McCartney ever been covered better than in Durango's interpretation of "Across The Universe"?
You will find yourself using Durango's music with your prayers, to pep you up when you are feeling down, to affirm you when you feel you are on the right path and at other times to just have a great time being alive. Enjoy!

I think the cd is beautiful. You have a beautiful connection to Spirit and it shines through your songs and blesses everyone! Keep singing and sharing your gift. . . it is healing the world.

"Remember Who You Are"' is like bathing and immersing myself in reminders that my soul is safe and that all is well. I find it nurturing, supportive, and highly pleasing to my ears and my heart. Thanks, Becky, for following Spirit and creating this gem.

A CD of wonderful tunes that brightens the spirit of all who listen. This CD would make a great gift for any occasion.
