Title: Highlights from a Life
Review: This CD is highlights of the play based on Holly's autobiography. As such, it's really a best of Holly Near CD, which is great since little of her previous music is available. Holly Near has been a feminist folk singer for more than 20 years. She has a wonderful, clear voice with a wide range and is accompanied by piano. Her songs range from singing about growing up in California (Water Come Down) to realizing that she's a lesbian (Imagine My Surprise). Few are "in your face" songs - most are simply beautiful. Think of this as Judy Collins as a lesbian.
