Yes, Rose Polenzani is on the Daemon label that's based here in Atlanta (run by Amy Ray:) I have never been so moved by an artist. Lush and sometimes chilling imagery, incredible vocals--I went through a serious life change last summer and the album "Anybody" was the soundtrack. Walk, don't run. And...hi there!!!

I'm not overwhelmed by it, but I like it...I only wish that the liner notes were more extensive. The CD is vaguely like Loreena McKennitt, and might seem more so if there was some commentary on the songs or lyrics included. I also just got "Now" by Cara Jones, which I like very much...apparently she's one of the many singers who sells millions in Japan and not much in the rest of the world? There are some definite J-Pop tendencies in some of the songs. That's probably enough un-helpful commentary. Suzanna np: Anggun, "Chrysalis" Who needs Cupid?

One singer that I know is doing a show sometime at Folk Alliance and who is eminently worth catching is Jen Noxon, from Ottawa. She's finally beginning to get some recognition around here... Very pretty poppy folk, with occasionally a bluegrass tinge depending on which incarnation of her band she's playing with. Highly recommended. She's opening for Garnet Rogers when he plays in town next month, a show that I'm thoroughly looking forward to... > Heard a new Scandinavian band last > night--Gjallahorn (not sure of spelling). Garmarna > fans should definitely check them out--very much like > Garmarna with a didgeridoo. Yes. Gjallarhorn are actually the band that first got me interested in Scandinavian folk, and they're very fun. Garmarna is a pretty good comparison, but I'd say that they're a fair deal more percussive than Garmarna (although nowhere near the level of stuff like Hedningarna). ian.

Pravatiner" Subject: Rose I can heartily second Amy's encomium for Rose Polanzani, one of a number of Chicago-based artists of whom I am a fan and booster. I first saw her in a performance at the Uncommon Ground coffeehouse, where I first saw many fine artists, and was so impressed I bought her CD, with which I was so impressed that I put a track on my Winamp, and so on and so on and so on... :-).
