Live at Wood Hall (originals)

is an exciting journey through Allison Crowe's concert repertoire, recorded solo voice and piano - with a simple clarity in the converted chapel of Victoria (B.C.)'s Conservatory of Music.  Alongside more than an album's worth of original songs of love and hope to social and political commentary, Allison covers cherished favourites - including Ani DiFranco ("

"), Counting Crows ("

"), Tori Amos ("

"), Janis Joplin ("

"), and John Lennon ("

"). Colours in the artist's musical palette range from roots & blues, through folk, pop/rock, jazz and Broadway. There's even a tradtional Irish aire, "

", sung acapella. Once again, Larry Anschell (Turtle Studios) captures the music on tape and Alix Whitmire designs the beautiful artwork/CD cover. " 'Music, man, that's where it's at'/ it is a religious line/ outside, the chimes rung/ an they/ are still ringin."

This collection, here on Jamendo, contains the original songs of Allison Crowe captured in concert. To hear Allison's live interpretations (cover songs) please visit http://www.allisoncrowe.com/LiveatWoodHall.html
