Church, Raylene Rankin & Susan Crowe in concert - Recorded
10/12/2007 at Alderney Landing in Dartmouth, NS...Three of Canada's
favourite folk voices have joined together - Cindy Church, a powerful
and beautiful song stylist, along with Susan Crowe, a much respected
folk singer-songwriter, and the acclaimed Raylene Rankin (of the Rankin
Family), are the essential elements in this dynamic trio. With Rankin's
vocal stylings, Crowe's insightful and finely honed tunes, and Church's
effortless way with melody, these three women bring a wealth of
experience, talent and vocal magic to the stage that makes for a
beautiful evening of unforgettable music. -
