“Music for the season and all time”. Tidings brings together traditional
carols, and not-so-traditional songs, all interpreted, even redefined, through
the vocal and piano artistry of Canada’s exciting singer-songwriter Allison
Crowe. It's a much-loved collection tagged "the Yule-tide find of the year" by
one music critic. "Her voice celebrates the music with a bluesy rock-gospel
intensity; her controlled vibrato, silken rasp, and powerful projection rivet
your attention. This is no casual background music... be prepared to be amazed,
" says another reviewer. Tidings is popular year-round - not just during the
Christmas season when it's a natural. The album's songs are recorded, live-off-
the-floor, on Winter's eve in Canada by Engineer & Producer Larry Anschell,
(Pearl Jam, Sarah McLachlan, k-os), who captures the magic at his Turtle Recording
studio by the shore in White Rock, British Columbia, Canada.

Have received this in the post today and have already played it twice. Allison would have to do the best female version of Leonard Cohen"s Hallelujah. (That song would have to be the best Canadian song EVER). It's
May 3rd and it's a 'Christmas' cd, but hey, nothing like pretending it's a white christmas(No, it's not a song on the cd) -try songs by the Beatles, Sarah Mclachlan, Mick Jagger. Well worth the purchase, she has arranged a lot of the songs herself as well as playing the piano.
