Album Description On winter's eve in Canada, Allison Crowe took her seat at the piano and made this music. Tidings unites traditional carols and not-so-traditional songs, all warmly and passionately interpreted through artistry of Allison (and, on three tracks, her trio) in a live, studio, setting. The sounds of this session have been captured, simply and faithfully, by Engineer & Producer Larry Anschell (Pearl Jam, Sarah McLachlan, k-os) Peace on Earth ~ goodwill toward all. Tidings!

CD ReviewsWonderful...everything Dave Kim | Philadelphia, PA USA | 11/19/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "wonderful album. pretty much her voice + a piano producing great music. throws a little pop/jazz into classics, yet she doesn't totally profane the music such as so many modern renditions of old favorites do. (i mean, some of staci orrico's covers seem like they took the old songs, ripped em apart, set em to a bunch of synthesizers, drums, and guitars. not so with allison crowe) she has an incredibly powerful voice, and the piano parts are also well arranged. sometimes, however, she does fall into the pit of going overboard with the "remake" part of remaking the classics. anyway, it is a wonderful album, moving, peaceful, sublime, a fresh breath of good ol' christmas time air, and a should-be classic." Unbelievable CJ Chambers | Seattle, WA USA | 01/17/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Absolute perfection. She is one of the rare few who possess a voice such as this - not just technically moving, but there is no doubt that it's her soul singing. Thank you, Amazon, for introducing me to her music. Allison Crowe's voice not only gives me chills but leaves me breathless as well. It's a shame that talent such as this gets so little attention while at the same time we're inundated with singers who can't sing and other such crap. I can't wait for her next album." A glorious, stirring, collection Raymond Temmel | Paris, France | 11/01/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "Everything works with this song collection. It's the most moving "Christmas" album I've heard in decades.
The versions of traditional songs are marvellous. And with some of these well-worn carols it's not easy being original. Still, Allison Crowe pulls it off, and makes her take on "Silent Night", "The First Noel" and "What Child Is This" instant favorites. "O Holy Night" really rocks. Crowe's renditions of the secular, rock and pop, songs on the album are equally magnificent. Her Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell interpretations are definitive and she manages to bring something new even to the Beatles songs! It's a great record year-round and particularly wonderful at this time." |
