Description
"Allison Crowe has a voice to fall in love with," says UK music industry journal Record of the Day. "She is from Vancouver Island in Canada, descended from Scottish, Irish and Manx stock. She's exactly the sort of artist who can make serious headway on her own label and that's just what she's doing." Across the sea, Ray Padgett (Cover Me, SPIN, Mashable) observes: "There are some voices that speak (or sing) for themselves. You know the ones. Voices where it doesnt matter what they sing. Voices where it doesnt really matter what instruments support them. Solomon Burke has such a voice. Jeff Buckley had it. Allison Crowe has it too."
When this phenomenon 'from the islands' reached the mainland she steered a path clear of what Joni Mitchell knowingly calls the record industry's "style inventions". Courted by the establishment, Crowe, taking a cue from Ani DiFranco and Loreena McKennitt, chose instead to form her own label. Since 2001, Rubenesque Records Ltd. has released a series of critically and commercially successful albums: Lisa's Song+ 6 Songs; Secrets; Tidings; Live at Wood Hall; This Little Bird; and Little Light; and Spiral. In Summer 2011 Allison Crowe released a double-A-side single ~ Arthur / Up to the Mountain. Tidings Concert, a 31 (20 songs and 11 banter) track album debuted November 25, 2012. In 2012, Allison Crowe performed live on-stage with Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet for the World Premiere of "The Doorway Scenes from Leonard Cohen" - created and choreographed by Jorden Morris with artistic direction from the RWB's Andr Lewis.
