Friday Featured Track for Sept. 25, 2009
The song that has been on my brain the most this week:
- “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,” Ann Wilson with Rufus Wainwright and Shawn Colvin, from Wilson’s 2007 solo album “Hope and Glory.”
This song has stuck with me all week, but it’s an even more appropriate choice for FFT since Tulsa’s Brady Theater announced today that Bob Dylan will perform there Oct. 24.
This sweeping, poignant rendition of the Dylan classic is the best track on Wilson’s 2007 album “Hope and Glory.” That’s saying something since it was one of my favorite records of that year. The Heart singer’’s throaty, powerhouse voice has lost none of its potency, and it blends well with contributions from several talented guest singers on the album.
But nowhere is the mingling of vocals more harmonious or surprising than in this track. I would never have matched up these three performers, who all have such distinctive singing styles, but their voices meld beautifully.
-BAM
