Details:
Madelyn Lavender's new CD is a conscious journey through the hypnotic and jocular--a vivid musical and lyrical landscape where you can reach out and touch the colors. Incorporating an inspired use of Folk, Rock and World instruments, Memory Tree is a provocative blend of old and new sounds woven into songs that are as simultaneously beautiful as they are thought provoking.
