"Babe's voice is as appealing as her
name is unique." - Canada AM
Babe's music has been described as honest,
rootsy and real. She continually captivates audiences by delivering
powerful stories to thoughtful music. Experiencing her engaging
personality in concert is a treat, and discovering her playful and
keen sense of humour is always a delight.
Keeping with the tradition of Babe's
previous discs, her latest collection of songs features a powerful
yet sensitive singer with material to match. She is routinely
compared to singer-songwriters like Lucinda Williams, Shawn Covin and
Sheryl Crow, but retains her own unique acoustic roots sound and style.
The music on "Back
Alley Porch" conjures
an image of sitting on your back alley city porch, with the sun going
down, and listening to the rich sounds of roots -influenced music. The
CD has a fresh, yet familiar sound and will take the listener to many
places. Babe's warm but powerful voice is beautifully showcased
with the stripped-down sounds on this album, which is a unique blend
of roots, pop and country. "Back Alley
Porch" features a wide
array of talented musicians including Steve Dawson (Zubot & Dowson),
Keith Lowe (Fiona Apple, Jim Byrnes), Roy Forbes, Rob Becker (Patricia
Conroy) and David Sinclair (Sarah McLachlan, kd lang).
