Album Notes

Tender and daring a cappella vocal arrangements of some of Holly's most requested songs plus several new ones with simple instrumental back-up. Musical styles range from a meditation on Study War No More to a light-hearted jazzy version of Swimming To The Other Side, a Pat Humphries' classic. Holly includes Ministry of Oil, a smart and pointed song that she learned from The Prince Myshkins. There is a divine version of Sky Dances, written by Roy Brown and Jimmy Durham, which has become a classic in Holly's repertoire. Sail Away Lady, a traditional song that Holly learned as a young teen, is a lovely tribute to folk legend Odetta. Holly and emma's revolution bring new trio life to songs such as Mountain Song, 1000 Grandmothers, Sing To Me The Dream, Fired Up, and West Virginia Friend that Holly's audiences have heard solo.
