Album Notes

Well known photographer of musicians Releases of a CD Compilation of healing music created during her struggle with Breast Cancer.

This CD highlighting 23 of her client’s most powerful and healing songs, was created to raise money and awareness for the national Breast Cancer Fund, and SHARE, a NY state-wide organization helping women with breast or ovarian cancer.

The women musicians -- all influential in their own genres which range from rock to jazz to folk and even traditional Irish music -- donated their work for this CD. They include: Suzanne Vega; Ireland’s Queen of Music Mary Black; Windham Hill jazz favorite, Barbara Higbie; singer/activist Holly Near; New York’s endearing Suzzy & Maggie Roche; the legendary Laura Nyro; Christine Lavin; Patti Larkin; Cris Williamson; grammy winners, Cathy Fink & Mary Marxer, west coast favorite, Jennifer Berezan; and many more.

“When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, many of the extraordinary artists and friends I had worked with over the years asked what they could do to help,” said Young. “The power of their music provided consolation and support during the most challenging of days. I wanted to share that experience with other women for their own healing process, to promote breast cancer awareness, and to champion the cause of independent music.”

$2 per CD sold is donated in equal parts to the Breast Cancer Fund and to SHARE Cancer Support.

Great uplifting music by generous artists for a noble cause!
author: japetunia
I saw a handful of the artists featured on this CD at a supporting benefit concert in Berkeley. I left the show feeling inspired & determined to do something in the fight against breast cancer. This is healing, empowering music with a message for ALL of us, not just those struggling with breast cancer. All musicians, songwriters, producers & record companies donated their royalties to the cause. The songs are incredible & well-performed by a diverse group of women musicians. This CD immediately went in my car & will no doubt stay there for some time.
