Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam, Where the deer and the antelope play, Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day. Home, home on the range, Where the deer and the antelope play; Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day.

幽谷傳聲 白茫茫的山谷、幽徑小溪、長長流水。 我願把心靈的愛、 深藏在它懷 裡。 啊、我呼喚著、但願你能聽悉。 即使遠在那方、 願山谷傳聲。 (Translation) Echo from Deep Valley White cloudy valley with its gracefully winding brook, I wish to store the great love in my heart deep within its bosom. Ah! I call out, with hope that You can hear and understand. May the valley echo my love to the far corners of the earth.

好一朵美麗的茉莉花 好一朵美麗的茉莉花 芬芳美麗滿枝椏 又香又白人人誇 讓我來將你摘下 送給別人家 茉莉花呀茉莉花

about

This 4-track digital album is from the CD “Echo from Deep Valley,” an eclectic and heart-warming collection of 11 songs from around the world, featuring singer/songwriter Ho Lan. Mostly self-taught, Ho Lan made Taiwan television history as the first self-accompanied female singing star on the variety show “Gathering of Stars.” Her mesmerizing voice spans from a rich low tenor to a pure and clear soprano. She was a lead singer with Kupa, the 18-piece swing band at the Grand Hotel Taipei. There she sang in 7 different languages and a great variety of styles. She also played Electone at an international club in Taipei, where she often moved homesick diplomats to tears by playing songs from their homeland.

Featured on this album are 3 tracks sung in Mandarin Chinese, including 2 original compositions by Ho Lan: “Echo from Deep Valley,”and “Heart’s Wish.” Both songs are about Ho Lan’s deep love for nature and her wish to share that love with all of humanity. Her arrangement of the famous Chinese folk song “Jasmine Blossom” is a rich musical tapestry of super high whistling, overdubbed vocal counterpoint, and hints of qin and pipa in the guitar accompaniment. Ho Lan’s heart-melting rendition of “Home on the Range” makes the listener long to hear only that which is genuine and true.

Because Bandcamp does not allow digital sales of cover songs, we were not able to include 7 tracks in the digital album. If you would like to hear these tracks please buy the CD from our merch section.

Side story: A qigong healing clinic in Taiwan once ordered numerous copies of this CD because they felt it promoted healing for their patients. We hope it also bring you much joy and peace.

(All net profits from sales go directly to Ho Lan.)
