Georgette Fry: Rites of Passage

[cover art]

Ask me to pick a musical pigeonhole and I'll tell you my home is in the one marked "The Blues". The thing about pigeonholes, though, is that (unless you've got the wrong end sticking out of it) you're bound to notice that you're surrounded by a lot of other pigeonholes that look like interesting places to visit. Gregarious bird that I am, I've left home more than a few times and have brought back some interesting pieces with which to feather my nest. The door is open ... come on in and have a look around.
--Georgette Fry

Canadian singer Georgette Fry was nominated for a Juno award for best blues/gospel album in 1996, for her solo debut Rites Of Passage. Track 13 on the CD (sound sample available below) is a cover version of the Rick Danko song "Sip the Wine", from Danko's 1977 solo album.
