"Peace and Power" is a spiritual journey in and of itself and goes to show that the most simple of arrangements (a wisp of strings beneath a cello & voice that moves in and out of solo phrasing and harmony) can have such a powerful effect. It is definitely non parleil with songs that capture the true meaning of their titles. On the popular side of things, this is not an album that has a "pop" single ready for consumption - it's all about the journey, introspection that cannot be hurried; so if you're not afraid of what's inside you, let this music help guide you to what's sure to be a rather remarkable and rewarding personal journey.

One of the most wonderful, powerful albums ever made. Joanne's voice is amazing!
