Information/Write-up
ANGEL OF MY DREAMS is Diane Merritt’s first recording. Diane regards the album as the start of a new career — a career that really counts in a field where expectations run high and reputations are gained or lost in a twinkling.
Miss Merritt is right on all counts! Her debut in the world of recorded music is indeed the beginning — ANGEL OF MY DREAMS the first card played in a magnificent gamble.
This gamble could hardly lack the backing of one who rarely made bad bets: THE MUS-TANGS who masterfully back her on it, the entire Arc Records staff from sound studio to pressing and selling, and most of all Diane Merritt to win. From all quarters it’s unanimous! “A big hand for the little lady.”
Diane Merritt who inspires such confidence is twenty-one years old. She was born in Russel, Manitoba, spending her high school days in Sudbury. “The angel of everyman’s dream” Diane has been in the music limelight for only two years.
Rising to prominence as a member of CHCH-TV’s very popular “Music Go Round”, guesting on that show and others, notably with Moose Letrick over CFGM, Ontario’s Country King, Diane is widely heard (mostly at clubs) and in concert.
Now touring with the Varga Brothers (it was Ernie Varga who introduced her to Country music), Diane is heard regularly on the Main Event Show — CFTO-TV; What’s Happening also CFTO-TV; Wayne and Shuster; Windsor, West Virginia and the highly rated Country Buck TV Show which originated from Kitchener, Ontario.
This album introduces Diane Merritt to the nation from the “Sweet Side of Country”. Diane’s style, her voice, her super-charged presence — all the great gifts this lovely girl possesses in abundance — have gained for her an enormous audience. ANGEL OF MY DREAMS is a debut album no one will want to miss. It’s a “dream” of an album.
