Order Online	I Love the Moon   (2008) Audio Samples:   Lyrics If Joni Mitchell spent time hanging around Woodstock with Caroline Peyton, Avakian would easily have how she was influenced by this duo in her bio. A new breed of fiercely independent singer/songwriter that has deeper chops than she let.s on to, Avakian is like a mannered Alanis Morrisette without the angst but with no resignation either. A charming and engaging real artist, Avakian makes some really meaty listening that is as far from disposable pop as you can get. Well done. Chris Spectori, Midwest Record More Reviews...
Order Online	Vanishing Point   (2001) Audio Samples: Helen's long-awaited CD "Vanishing Point" Appears! Voted Number 1 Favorite Recording by Rhythm and News Magazine Poll. Co-produced with the incredible muti-talented Scott Petito whose credits include work with Keith Richards, James Taylor and the Band, Vanishing Point contains 10 songs and 2 instrumentals which range from simple acoustic numbers to full band productions. "There is a courageously idiosyncratic sound at work here, creating a warm, lacy realm of reality and romance...one of the finest sounding discs ever to come out of the Hudson Valley." Michael Jurkovic Rhythm and News Magazine ""Vanishing Point" takes the unique meld of folk, classical, flamenco and pop that is pure Avakian, and adds the most tasteful and tasty touches of pop and new age to create a Helen in four dimensions; a virtually perfect gem-like setting of ensemble music that is scrupulously crafted to enhance Helen's unique gifts, as a fine ring sets off a rare diamond. It is chock-full of a very clearsighted intelligence both musically and lyrically that is rare in current pop. The singing and songwriting are nothing short of superb--one of those haunting voices that once heard can never be forgotten. In a just world this indie album would be a shoo-in for a Grammy--equal to the absolute best of what's out there, and far, far superior to most. Michael "the Moose" Dmoch Founder, MidHudson FolkFest, Rosendale Street Festival "Vanishing Point is Helen Avakian at her best!" More Reviews...
