Synopsis

Album Description
When Zora Young performs, the sound of her voice tells almost as many stories as the words she sings. Her raspy, corrugated timbre bespeaks both power and vulnerability, a dispatch from the front lines of life. She?s capable of modulating over the course of a single measure from a smoldering mid-range croon into a full-bodied gospel shout--then, on ballads, she?ll soften into a kittenish purr. Shot through with both muscularity and grace, hers is the voice of a woman who?s earned the right to proclaim her joys and her sorrows with equal conviction. In the words of folk singer Rosalie Sorrels, Zora?s music sounds "learned by living, sung by heart." -from the liner notes by David Whiteis.
