A further note to how Allison’s music and repertoire is today, she’s also recorded more than an album’s worth of songs – working title of, “Aquarius Rising”, or, “No Matter the Battle”. Sonically, she hears these songs as having full band elements – as big as U2 or Smashing Pumpkins in their day. Orchestras, too. So, whenever those recordings are completed, we’ll be hearing some full-throated music with accompaniment that is bigger than anything yet created by Allison…

I'll still rip out my throat." :o)<br/><br/>That's the word from Allison hehe (well, as close as I can capture it, as I've had more email/MSN glitches today). Delightful, always to read your incisive comments.<br/><br/>My perspective - is that this album is akin to Allison's <i>Led Zeppelin III</i>. If you're a fan of that band, you know how half that collection is acoustic songs, such as <i>Tangerine</i> (songs I still love among my Zep favorites) - which came as a surprise when first released. Still, there was plenty of howl to come from Robert Plant. Health willing, Allison has a few decades as well before she makes her <i>Raising Sand</i>.<br/><br/>Lots of full-armed piano-shredding ahead, too!<br/><br/>New textures and songs - all part of the mix. Live now, it's crazy the variety of sounds. And solo!!<br/><br/>Happy May Day!<br/><br/>p.s. Allison loves Glen Hansard, too ( : “Don’t worry. I’ll still rip out my throat.” :o )
