Release date: April 13th 2009 -
Sara Colman’s new album, Ready, released on Qnote Records, clearly shows her to be a singer well above the ordinary. She chooses songs from a wide range of composers in a wide variety of genres, from Gerry Rafferty to Jimmy Van Heusen. And her own compositions sit equally strongly beside them. She recorded with a small group of old friends and trusted musicians who know that the best way to deliver this music is to keep it simple.
The result is an exceptionally fine showcase of great songs, soulful singing and a hard-grooving band. Ready has been launched to very enthusiastic audiences and Stuck in the middle with you has been chosen by Alyn Shipton for his Cathay-Pacific in-flight show. Sara will be touring this material through spring 09.
