Details:
I really didn't want to make this CD. I knew that it would strip me emotionally and probably financially. It damn near killed me. Great art always does.

If you want to read my bio it's on my web site (click link on the left), but I suspect you want to know if you're going to like this CD. Not if you don't like truth.

I've written 12 songs that embrace the human condition. I've written about inner beauty and finding love late in "Madeline." "This thorn" achingly portrays the pain of unfulfilled love. "Breaking Glass" the euphoria of exceeding personal limitations.

Will you like my voice? Well, take a listen to the sound clips, but the best description was written by author Herb Kauderer and goes like this:

"Mari Anderson's voice is hard to describe. The standard battering of life leaves us numb and wading through storms of grey. Mari's voice penetrates the numbness and greyness, not through anger, pain, love, or desperation, but just an uncontainable yearning to live in the world of feeling and color. And she lets us share her lifeline..."

I've been told time and time again that my songs provide hope and life. I guess it must be true. I feel privileged to share them with you.
