Album Notes

Cause and Effect, Annie\'s debut recording, was originally released in 1994 on her own Flyaway Hair label, and then on Prime CD in 1996. Sing Out magazine said \"Gallup writes incredible lyrics...\" Another rave from Mountain Xpress — \"Gallup\'s guitar playing favors complex runs and picking patterns while her voice glides easily from the conversational to the ethereal, framing an unabashed gift for language and an idiosyncratic perspective that yields big truths in small musical packages. Talent enough to humble the average giant.\" And from Dirty Linen — \"Gallup\'s pipes blend the throaty smoothness of early Joni Mitchell with a distinctive inflective twang that is closer to Lucinda Williams. An unlikely combination perhaps, but the effect is captivating.\"
