the forthcoming album by singer/songwriter Annie Burns offers her
most eloquent and richly textured work to date. Rooted in Country-folk-pop
melodies, MsBurns has crafted a lyrical, wistful and, on occasion, defiant
look at a life where choices are
rarely easy and knowledge comes mostly in retrospect. Ms. Burns and her eleven
siblings (5 sisters, 7 brothers) hail from upstate New York where they were
raised in the traditions of Irish song. An integral part of the much praised alternative-Country
group, The Burns Sisters (Rounder Records), Annie is frequently singled-out for her aphoristic often transcendent
tunes and her resilient, riveting
and complex vocal timbre that holds audiences spellbound. In
this solo departure, she continues to demonstrate a knowing, almost magical, ability to express a complex emotion in a simple
twist of phrasing. Of the eleven selections, she’s chosen to interpret a few
that mirror her sensibilities though penned by others.
