This Little Bird
This
Little Bird contains everything to love about the
music of Allison Crowe. Adding titles of engineer and producer to
her vocal, piano and guitar credits, Crowe is joined on most of the
album's tracks by an ideal rhythm section ~ Dave Baird (bass) and
Laurent Boucher (percussion). Nine new originals map emotional and
spiritual territory with fresh sounds, encompassing: the elegiac
"Phoenix"; the ramble tamble "Alive and
Breathing"; gorgeous songs of love and hope,
"Effortless" and "There Is"; the jaunty dark
humor of "Skeletons and Spirits"; the redemptive grace of
"Now"; the raucous celebration of
the title track; a joy of simplicity in "Circular
Reasoning"; and "Silence", a song that stirs with
gypsy romance.
Acclaimed not only as an exciting songwriter and live performer,
but, also, as a supreme song interpreter, for her freshly definitive takes,
Allison Crowe delivers a trio of remarkable covers on "This
Little Bird" - giving her singular voice to "A Case of
You" (Joni Mitchell's knowing paen to heart and homeland),
"Darling Be Home Soon" (John Sebastian's lovin'
spoonful of
longing) and "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)"
(Ronnie Shannon's soulful song best-known as Aretha Franklin's break-out
tune in 1967).
