    Valoración: VERY GOOD

This is one of those rare recordings that, from time to time, can be found around and, this time, it has also come to my hands The special feature is it presents the great voice of Dalannah Gail Bowen only backed by bass player Owen Owen Owen (Owen Veber) The album mostly includes own songs, but there are also a few well selected covers coming from Son House, Louis Jordan and Marvin Gaye This recording invites you to the following consideration, may an album with eleven songs which have been only recorded with bass and voice be attractive enough? The answer is up to you, but I must confess it has not disappointed me This simple and straightforward instrumentation allows the undeniable qualities, vocal nuances and beautiful phrasing of Dalannah Gail Bowen stand out and shine at a very high level For those who are not familiar with this singer, let me say she is a sixty-nine years woman with African, Canadian and Cherokee roots who has been singing blues for more than forty-five years On the other hand, Owen Owen Owen is a renowned bass player in Vancouver area, who also has more than forty years of a professional career
