I'm not sure what I was expecting since I'd just heard Allison's name. And in the Jazz, Blues, Rock, and Pop area? I didn't think that it would fly, since I'm not so much a fan of the first three genres. But what a voice! Sea of a Million Faces, Secrets, and a Murder of One really caught my attention, musically and with Allison's powerful, emotive soprano. How she plays it; powerful and brassy one moment, soft and mellow the next. She really has a lot of soul in her voice! And the lyrics have much meaning to them, and she's actually written some of these songs? That amazes me! And I like the way that she interacts with the audiance in between songs; she sounds very humble (but that's just my perception), which I like.

She looks to have more talent than certain "singers" (Britney Spears to name one).

I can't wait to see which direction that Allison takes!

Allison Crowe has the voice, the soul, and the ability to express herself in a manner that gives one chills. This live album of Ms. Crowe's perfomance Victoria BC's Conservatory of Music, both a combination of her original songs and a ecelectic mix of covers only left me eager for more. The album is described as "a range from roots & blues through folk, pop/rock, jazz and Broadway" which is entirely accurate. There are songs on this album that cover every mood, every musical interest. While I love the entire collection, I would have to say that my favorites are "Sea of a Million

Faces", "Secrets", "I Dreamed a Dream" (from Les Miz..amazing!), "Whether I'm Wrong", "Imagine" and the classic "Me and Bobby McGee".

If you could only buy two new albums of this year, it would be this and Ben Lee's "Awake is the New Sleep".
