Jeffrey Rubin with Banana Peel Radio is featuring "Peace" from the new release "Sleepers Awake" on his radio website. - 8/31/09

Sleepers Awake is a spiritual odyssey from mother/daughter duo
Char Butler and Amber Whitworth. Ethereal voices in sync beckon like celestial mermaids for the listener to come forth on tracks like Always For Me. A special rendition of McCartney’s Let It Be, softly reminds us that the torch has indeed been passed to the coming generation, whether to teach with or learn from, this song really lends itself to the feminine emotional plea. This is further evident in the lyrics to Peace (Whatever Happens). Waited ‘Til Noon carries the mourning of lost love with a strong Celtic feel. Butler and Whitworth then move into a seductive gospel sound on Wade in the Water that could possibly make even the most reluctant to at least dip in a toe.

A CD for lovers of music and searchers of truth.

"Char Butler is also keeping the heat on with her debut hit single. "Tonight" has been a real winner from day one and watch for more good things to come from this amazing talent."

Artist: Char Butler
Title: “My Life”-”Tonight” [promo single]
Grade: A

I haven’t checked, but these songs are probably available on iTunes. Also included on her album Secrets of the Heart, “My Life (I Love You)” and “Tonight” embody exactly the kind of music that the Calm Cafe champions. Just because it’s Easy Listening doesn’t mean it isn’t hip or creative. We’re not about Barry Manilow here. Char Butler is a creative kin to Sarah McLachlan, that of the soothing, otherworldy voice, especially “My Life (I Love You)” with its transcendent vocal performance. “Tonight” is just as impressive but in a different way, opting for the rootsy acoustic pop of Sheryl Crow. Both are well-produced and engaging, and a positive sign that this artist is going places.

Dreamy vocals embellish Char Butler’s evocative pop/rock
Char Butler/”My Life”-”Tonight” [promo single]
Taken from her album Secrets of the Heart, the songs “My Life (I Love You)” and “Tonight” glide by with dreamy textures and somewhat ethereal vocals. With its sublime piano and subtle electronica touches, “My Life (I Love You)” is probably too gorgeous and evocative for commercial radio. Do they still play songs as sweetly arranged and fetchingly sung as this? I’m reminded of the Cranberries without the post-grunge guitars and Irish accents. “Tonight” is reportedly a success on Adult Contemporary radio stations, and I can easily see why. The singing is reminiscent of Paula Cole’s without trying to be (it just is), and the arrangements are more down-to-Earth, a warm bed of acoustic guitars as Butler’s soft voice drifts to the clouds. Daydream the afternoon away.
