Album Notes

Début CD from South African singer/songwriter/acoustic guitarist. Music from this CD has been featured on NBC's "Passions" and heard in several independent movies. The songs were all written by Nicolette Aubourg and the subject matter is diverse: the title track is named after a street in Laurel Canyon; track two is inspired in part by Kahlil Gibran's book "The Prophet"; track seven, "Lay down your arms" is a plea for peace and reached number 110 on Neil Young's website (http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/lwwsongspage.html). The CD cover and liner notes feature paintings by the artist.

Vocals are angelic, and vary from stark to layered, in contrast to the strong guitar style. Instrumentation includes cello, violin, piano, B3, electric guitar, drums, bass and percussion from accomplished musicians Adam Chester, Charlie Bisharat, Frank Simes, Jorgen Carlsson, and Stefanie Fife. The CD was produced by Steve Holroyd, Bob Sheehan and Nicolette Aubourg.
