Dundas singer/songwriter Kim Koren's new album, Raven Heart, is an amazing evolution of her previous work.
As always, the melodies are superb plus her voice is powerful and warm. In this collection though, she has increased the musical energy.
Not only can Kim really rock out (If There's a Way, She's Got) but she can also be wonderfully delicate (Where Are You Living Now and the lovely lullabye, Spiders and Snails). There is even a bit from a tape recording of herself at 5 years old singing Let There Be Peace on Earth.
Joining this talented musician are her husband Frank Koren (guitar), Mark McIntyre (bass), Danny Lockwood (drums), and Colin Lapsley (Wurlitzer). As well, the CD has appearances from Lisa Winn, Steve Strongman, and Amy King. Local rock legend Tom Wilson also lends a hand by co-writing the great title track.
The CD is available at her shows and through iTunes.
