WE CAME TO SING!
by: NEAR, HOLLY W/ EMMA'S REVOLUTION Tender and daring a cappella vocal arrangements of some of Holly's most requested songs are paried with some of Emma's Revoltion's most popular songs and some new tracks that perfectly fit the three woman's voices! Musical styles range from a meditation on "Study War No More" to a light hearted jazzy version of "Swimming to the Other Side." The harmonies on "Sky Dances" are divine and "Ministry of Oil" is a great political commentary. Other highlights include new versions of "Mountain Song," "1000 Grandmothers" and "West Virginia Friend." |

Holly Near, Arlo Guthrie, Ronnie Gilbert and Pete Seeger provided the soundtrack to the movement, with love songs and liberation songs spanning the generations but united with their common purpose. Includes thirteen extra songs not included on the original! |

WITH A SONG IN MY HEART - NEAR
by: HOLLY NEAR Holly reflects in the liner notes to this album, "I remember the songs my parents sang around the house when I was growing up...watching them reassured me there was love in the world, as the sweet love songs of the '30's, '40's and '50's reached for a lightness of heart in the midst of social and political unrest." She has recorded 15 of these classic songs here to ensure that they live on for another generation. |
