Lillie Mae - Other Girls - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Baritone Elem Eley describes this very personal album in this way InchSome of the most magical moments of my childhood were the eager tearing-away of the plastic wrap from the annual Christmas album, just purchased from the Firestone dealer in our little hometown! It was through these InchStereophonic LPInch albums (devotedly and regularly brought home by my father) that I was introduced to much of the classic holiday repertoire, both sacred and secular. Burl Ives, Robert Goulet, Leontyne Price, The Brothers Four, Mahalia Jackson, Isaac Stern, of course, the New York Philharmonic, Mitch Miller and his chorus - these artists, plus many others, each year brought us much other-worldliness of the holiday season - often with an entertaining this-worldliness of musical style! Christmas Day is not consciously modeled after the Great Songs of Christmas serials, but the comparison is inescapable. We hope that this album may provide a measure of nostalgia, InchChristmas magic,Inch and inspiring reflection on the true meaning of the season. My own voice is complemented here by a host of outstanding artists - adult and children's choirs, orchestra, and brilliant instrumentalists. We offer you beloved carols, some composed or newly-arranged especially for this project. Join us on our journey to the cradle.Inch

Raised in the Pacific northwest, Lila McCann made her debut with her father's band at the age of 4. Since then, she's honed her vocal chops in the honky tonks and moose lodges of her native Washington. On her debut album, the diminutive firebrand displays a voice and passion that far exceeds her years. Producer Mark Spiro (Boyz II Men, Laura Branigan, Julian Lennon) was so taken with Lila's talent that he decided to enter the world of country music, becoming her producer and collaborator. 1st single InchDown Came a Blackbird.Inch
