| Allison Crowe's ’This Little Bird’ Celebrated and celebratory, Allison Crowe is home this weekend following her transcontinental tour, the Rock'n'Rail Revue, delivered sea-to-sea by VIA Rail. Home now spans from Nanaimo, B.C. to Corner Brook, Newfoundland - the full breadth of Canada. And, not coincidentally, she has the heart and talent to encompass so vast a territory. Joni Mitchell calls today's acts "style inventions". It's not hard to understand Joni's truth. And, it brings home just how rare is Allison Crowe in 2006. Her artistry and performance has an integrity which is no longer allowed in the main. Not surprisingly, as with Bruce Springsteen, when he was "rock and roll's future", and The Clash, when billed as "The Only Band that Matters", the response to her music is visceral. She means it. Piano tracks, and all but one vocal track, for Allison Crowe's upcoming album, "This Little Bird" have been recorded. Other musical elements will be added to the core, and ready for release prior to Crowe's next European concert tour - slated for Fall/Winter '06. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
