Anne Janelle - So Long At The Fair

Anne's songs are a special blend of folk, classical, and pop. Her sweet voice and sultry cello provide the perfect setting for her personal, evocative and poignant lyrics, making a crystal clear sound filled with warmth, (Bob Mersereau, CBC).After winning a Canadian Folk Music Award for duo album True Love Don't Weep, Anne put out her debut solo album Beauty Remains; and, on the heels of that offering, comes So Long at the Fair, a highly accomplished sophomore set. (Kerry Doole, New Canadian Music) This album exudes a deeply authentic sound, one that serves to solidify Anne's musical voice. With feet planted firmly in folk music, she gives every song a contemporary feel, blending the characteristic bittersweet sounds of the cello with unlikely companions including the wooden recorder, baritone sax, and ukulele. Whether it's the rousing rendition of her Andrews-Sisters-meets-French-Canada Black is the Colour, her fragile yet electrifying Forgive Me or the upbeat and catchy Nothing Lasts Long, this CD offers listeners a musical buffet. And, perhaps most importantly, with So Long at the Fair Anne Janelle's unique sound rings loud and clear.
