Everybody's Angel
''Everybody's Angel'' is the third studio album by Tanita Tikaram, released in 1991. Background Tikaram wrote the majority of the songs that form the album between December 1989-January 1990, just before the release of her second album '' The Sweet Keeper'', with "Hot Pork Sandwiches" dating far back to 1988.

Bearsville Studios
Bearsville Sound Studio was a recording studio founded by Albert Grossman in Bearsville, New York, west of Woodstock in 1969. History Albert Grossman, who was the manager of Bob Dylan and Peter, Paul and Mary, first arrived in Bearsville in 1964 with his future wife, Sally, and Dylan via Dylan's station wagon, and went to work creating a retreat for the community of artists with whom he worked. The Bearsville studio facilities would eventually be just one component of the complex that would eventually include Bearsville Records, Turtle Creek Barn and Apartments, Location Recorders, the Bearsville Theatre, and multiple restaurants. The two-hour drive from New York City, a "retreat" for some artists, combined with residences owned by Albert Grossman, amplified this value. Bearsville's first studio, Studio B, was completed in 1969. Studio B was initially designed by Robert Hansen and later re-designed and modified by John Storyk of the Walters-Storyk Design Group and acoustician ...

The song profits from a strong arrangement. Good use of piano and strings." Everett True of ''Melody Maker'' commented: "Well, this ain't so bad – the cello's keen, and suits her mournful countenance just peachy." Andrew Collins of ''New Musical Express'' wrote, "She writes very dreary songs, of which the slow ones are by far the dreariest, and then sings them in a crap way. 'Little Sister' is a slow one. It perks up for one bar when it threatens to turn into 'Downtown Train', but this ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
