Colleen Peterson was one of Canada's top vocal artists who sadly left us in 1996 after a lifetime of recording and performing. She was a two time Juno winner in Canada and released 4 albums for Capitol Records during her lifetime. Her long time collaborator and friend, Nancy Simmonds, has produced this last album from songs they wrote and recorded together in Nancy's California home during the early 90's and along with co-producer, David Bradstreet, they have brought the last of her music back to her fans. These 12 songs present her incredibly pure and true voice in this beautiful recording of songs that represents so much of her life and the maturity both writers had reached before her death.
Thanks for reviewing this album! You should see it show up on the album page in a few days.
Colleen was an amazing person, an amazing voice, a humble but yet strong presence on stage, a very versatile artist who could fit in just as easily in a Jazz framework as in Country and Western, Folk, Soul, or Blues. Her recordings are hard to find these days, so this album is a treasure that I recommend to all. Read more...
