Product Description
The Changer and the Changed is THE album that pioneered and carried the genre known as Women's Music. One of the top selling independent albums when it was released in 1975, it maintained that distinction until the early 90's - an amazing record. These songs are the timeless standards, speaking to all as deeply today as they did when they were first heard. Cris's achievements are part of the curriculum in Women's Studies programs around the world. Her songs are sung around campfires, appear in hymnals and are covered by countless young artists of today. A recipient of many awards, including WUMB Radio's 'Top Folk Albums of the Millennium.' As Bonnie Raitt said so clearly, 'Cris has been a lot of women's hero, including mine.'

Customer Reviews
Not just for women, nor just for gay women, just plain great
A roommate's girlfriend left the album in our apartment in 1980; listened once, liked it, six years later I was sleepless at night with flu and ear infection, listening to womens' radio show in Portland, Or, on Walkman, heard "The Song of The Soul" and swear that my fever broke and ear healed within the hour. I don't compare Cris Williamson to other folkies or "womens' musicians;" rather to Johannes Brahms, Felix and Fanny Mendelsohn, and late-period Beethoven short works. This is what they call "absolute music," beyond categorization. There are not enough stars in this rating system for it.
Totally Awesome!
I was introduced to Chris Williamson's music/women's music appoximately 12 years ago at a retreat and fell in love with it almost instantly. I had never heard any music classified as "women's" prior to that. Chris sings with such feeling...she is truly an inspiration.
I have owned the cassette for approximately 12 years and like it so much I plan to purchase a CD of it. I can honestly say I really like all, but one of the songs.
"Wildthings" is out of this world! My nieces and nephews like it too. They sing along...even the nephew that acts like Mr. Cool! When the tape is over, my nieces ask me to play it again.
IF more stars were available...100+ might do it!
Cris is the "gift" to music. She shares her heart and soul in vocal stylings that are easy on the ears, touching to the heart, and life affirming. If you have no other woman's albums...start here...you will be ordering all of her albums, none of which deviate from the superb quiality of this album. Cris is undoubtedly the finest musician never palyed on "pop" radio...if they only knew what they are missing!
