14 years ago Liv Carter Comments Off on Book Review: From this Moment On – Shania Twain
Despite having been very much in the public eye for about a decade, the very private Shania Twain had been able to keep her private life private. It likely would have remained that way but for the dramatic breakdown of her first marriage. This event forced her into a period of reflection; the place from Read MoreCD Review – Slow Down – Richie McDonald

Slow Down – Richie McDonald (2011, Loremoma Music) A labor of love three years in the making, Slow Down, is the new album by Richie McDonald. When I was first introduced to this project, I thought an album populated entirely by ballads might be a bit of a risky move. How do you keep a Read More
