Here are URLs to a couple of different-sized files of the first track, a cover of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah: http://www.allisoncrowe.com/hallelujah96.mp3 http://www.allisoncrowe.com/hallelujah128.mp3 And, one of Tiding's tradtional songs, In the Bleak Midwinter, can be heard online @ www.allisoncrowe.com/bleak96.mp3 www.allisoncrowe.com/bleak128.mp3 The six songs on Tidings are a mix of traditional carols and modern songs (that veer off from the pine cones and holly berries track but which are exhilarating in their own spiritual way): Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen); Silent Night; In the Bleak Midwinter; O Holy Night; Shine A Light (Jagger/Richards); Angel (Sarah McLachlan). Being an artist who usually performs original material, it's an unique experience to interpret the songs of others as Allison did for this special recording. Accompanying the release of Tidings will be an one-hour tv special to air nationally in Canada during the Christmas/holiday season. (I've just learned it will air on Christmas day, and will have the full broadcast details soon.) I hope you'll enjoy these Tidings ( : cheers, Adrian ------------------------------ End of headline-girl-digest V6 #184 ***********************************
