Points of View: Anne Hills

Appleseed Recordings APR1119

 
After a decade of collaborations with fellow musicians (including Tom Paxton and Michael Smith), Victorian-era poets (James Whitcomb Riley) and child naturalists (Opal Whiteley), Points of View celebrates Anne’s much anticipated return to her own originals. With one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary folk, Anne’s empathic and caring spirit informs the CD’s 11 originals, covering subjects as varied as diversity, individuality, love, loss, and resilience to a changing world. The release is rounded out by her interpretations of songs by Leonard Cohen and Peter Mayer. Throughout, Anne’s voice, banjo and guitar are backed by co-producer and multi-instrumentalist Scott Petito, Grammy-winning cellist Eugene Friesen, Peter Vitalone on keyboards and Sam Zucchini on drums, with additional vocals by Priscilla Herdman and Cindy Mangsen.
