Description

Hear the original songs on Allison Crowe's debut singer-songwriter album "Secrets" - sister album to Allison's "This Little Bird" collection, and her newest release, "Little Light".

Allison Crowe recorded "Secrets", a solo, singer-songwriter album, in 2004. First setting up a home studio, Allison engineered and assisted with production (alongside Rainer Willeke of Canadian r'n'b combo, Soul Station). Allison performs all vocals (lead and harmonies), plays piano, guitar, keyboards and added percussive 'thumps' to the collection. Secrets contains a mix of tunes from Allison's "band days" (some of which are radically redefined), freshly-penned songs, and a couple of choice picks from other artists: Counting Crows' brooding "Raining in Baltimore" ~ the first song Allison performed when she launched her career as a singer-songwriter; and "Joan of Arc", a shining exemplar of Leonard Cohen's poetic brilliance. Guest artists contributing to Secrets are: Del Crowe (guitar); Jo Lundstrom (accordion); Eric Reiswig (Uilleann pipes); and Rainer Willeke (tambourine).

You will find those cover songs and more on Allison's webpages @ http://www.allisoncrowe.com/Secrets.html

Sláinte! Peace.

Thank you for your voice, for your songs, amazing and exciting. I've never heard any other album as many times in a week as your during last 30 years :-)

Lovely

I love this artist. This is my favorite set from her. Original singing, lyrics, and piano playing.

Anyone who can cover Joni and do it right wins my vote. (Although her cover of A CASE OF YOU is not on this cd.)
Check out her website for more information and additional songs.
Also not on this cd: Lisa's Song. Breaks my heart.
"Oh Canada"

Premium piano and voice

This album is beautiful; even better than her other albums Allison Crowe has posted to date.

Her voice is stunning and the piano is great. The combination of the two are fantastic, but I'm not sure it is fantastic enough for 5 stars. Also, points off on the license. It's not quite free music if you don't allow derivative works. I find this album to be much more rhythmic than her others, making it easy to follow the music and lyrics. The lyrics are emotional, or at least the singing certainly makes them seem so. I could imagine Allison singing the ingredients off a bottle of ketchup and me wanting to cry with senseless emotion.

Not to mention that Allison Crowe is really gorgeous herself. Allison, if you are ever in the States, let me know. I will go see your concert, buy you dinner, wash your car, etc.

Very Joni

Pretty. An accomplished pianist and a strong voice. If the European tour gets close enough, I would love to hear her live. I suspect she'd be stunning in a small venue with a bottle of red wine and an appreciative audience.

Touching piano

Very nice album from Allison. This was the first artist that I found via Jamendo and instantly begun to love Allison Crowes touching lyrics, great voice and simple repetitive piano riffs.

Artist and Album worth listening. You could characterise this music as simplified and bluesy Tori Amos.

Epic Singing

You have one of the most beautiful singing voices, and the instrumental complements it perfectly.

Much better than some of the "top artists" today.
