Indie musician Allison Crowe performs, live-in-the-studio, one of her favourite songs by Sarah McLachlan, also a Canuck - and an early inspiration to the singer-songwriter from Canada's most western shores.
In featuring her musical force, the UNESCO-endorsed New Songs For Peace Project says: "Allison Crowe may not be well-known now but this young woman has the voice and talent to be the next Alanis or Norah. The raw emotions in her hauntingly beautiful rendition of 'Angel' should convince you of her potential." Music journalist Teri McIntyre, in a nod to the artist's iconoclastic approach, writes: "Crowe manages to give the song a refreshing, blown-out emotional take that, for some, may surpass the original."
This performance, broadcast, for years, each December across Allison Crowe's homeland, is part of her one-hour television special called "Tidings". It's produced by Doug Slack and his team at CHUM TV's "Inside Pandora's Box".
A live-in-the-studio recording of this song appears on Allison Crowe's "Tidings" CD album.
