Search - Anne Price :: Hearth & Fire

A varied collection of songs new and old. Many are traditional folk songs, like Jimmy Whalen and The Loyal Lover, both about women forsaken by their lovers. Two Sisters is a ballad of sibling rivalry and murder. Some are humorous, like Dick McCormack's I'm Losing All the Weight I Gained After Losing You, or Anne Price's own Waiting to Go (about those long lines at intermission). Annette Kirk's Let Me See Your Papers suggests a solution to the perils of modern dating. Hal-an-Tow is a jaunty English traditional song celebrating the end of winter. The title song, Hearth & Fire, is Gordon Bok's song of the comfort of friendship on a cold winter night. Anne's Gridlock is about those New York traffic jams, and has a catchy chorus. Frobisher Bay by James Gordon of the Canadian group Tamarack tells the tale of a whaling ship trapped in the ice in the Arctic Circle. La Laine de Mouton is a French Canadian song about the shearing, spinning and weaving of wool. Open That Can is Nancy White's modern version of the cumulative folk song about feeding others. Rivers Of Texas is another good singable chorus song.
