Open Minds Open Windows: Songwriters
Stories
A rare recording of "Fade Away", the first song written
by Allison Crowe, is on this benefit compilation (released November
27, 2003). This track was recorded in Spring
2002, with Producer Larry Anschell (Pearl Jam, Paul Rodgers, Sarah McLachlan)
joining the trio on guitar. It's one of 17 tracks contributed to
this CD project by a "who's who of West Coast
musicians" (which includes Joelle Rabu, Valdy, Jim Byrnes,
Powder Blues and many others). Open Minds Open Windows
(OMOW) is a
newly-formed Canadian charity dedicated to making a difference in
the way society views mental illness. OMOW's mission is to reduce
the stigma and prejudice surrounding people with mental health
issues. In February 2008, Allison Crowe returned to Nanaimo, Canada
to perform as part of OMOW's Fifth Anniversary celebration.
