Now playing: alison brown

Alison Brown

Stolen Moments

acoustic adventures from all points of the compass

Bluegrass, jazz, newgrass, Celtic , country: whatever she’s playing, Alison Brown shows a gift for melody, a gift most often expressed on the banjo.

She brings all those aspects of her searching music spirit together in the eleven tracks here.

Top cuts include Celtic tinged original instrumental “Carrowkeel,” Brown picking up her guitar to collaborate with John Doyle in supporting the graceful lead vocals of Andrea Zonn on the trad piece “One Morning in May.” Jimi Hendrix’ “Angel” with Beth Nielsen Chapman on lead vocals. The Indigo Girls, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Kenny Malone and Stuart Duncan also sit in.
