This House(Nicole Brown Charitable Foundation)
By Joann D. Ball
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and this year some incredible music delivers the message.
Some of San Diego's best female artists and a few of their non-local counterparts
put their creativity where their hearts are on This House, a benefit CD forthe Nicole Brown Charitable Foundation. In the spirit of the Foundation's efforts to support victims of domestic abuse and stop domestic violence, all of the 16 tracks on the compilation emphasize female empowerment and hope.
This House opens with Womyn, a deeply moving tribute to the female heart, soul and spirit by the Northern California acappella trio Copper Wimmin. The positive, upbeat title track by San Diego singer/songwriters, Lisa Sanders and Dana Lee Woodfollows, and like Let Us Walk by Colorado-based artist Nina Storey, it celebrates the triumphant spirit of love and peace. San Diego singer-songwriter Laura Preble's Juliet/Desire is a beautifully crafted, soothing song for the broken hearted while I'm the Toughest Girl Alive by locally based, internationally acclaimed blues diva Candye Kane celebrates real woman power in her typical straight forward and direct manner. Bay Area artist Erika Luckett uses her smoky vocals to explore the depths of joy and pain on the jazzy number Twins, and San Diego's roadhouse rock queen Eve Selis sings of inner strength on the country-tinged Lonesome Tonight.
On the keenly insightful Happy, Randi Driscoll uses her trademark angelic vocals and inspired piano playing to advocate being true to oneself. Dana Lee Wood adds a good measure of sultry R&B with Is There Something which complements Mary Dolan's passionate rocker Girl Who Falls in Love, Jill Virginia Costanzo's alt-rock track Rain, and Peggy Lebo's lush ballad Lock the Door. Avant jazz rock visionary Joy Eden Harrison, who recently left San Diego for Chicago, contributed the rich and deeply stirring 40 Days and 40 Nights.
Deborah Liv Johnson's rootsy Letting Go of You, and Peggy Watson's tender Somebody Hold Me set the stage for the all-star version of Lee Wood's Angels All Around You which closes This House. The enhanced CD also includes a video for Angels plus messages from Nicole Brown's sisters Denise and Tanya who oversee the Foundation. This House is available online at cdstreet.com with all proceeds going to the Nicole Brown Charitable Foundation (www.nbcf.org ).
