Jane Siberry is the self-titled 1981 debut album by Jane Siberry. The album was re-released on CD by East Side Records in 1994. [3]

Contents

Siberry did not yet display the new wave pop style that would make her a household name in Canada with her next album, 1984's No Borders Here . Instead, it's a largely folk-pop album, which has been described by Stewart Mason as "Joni Mitchell's early-'70s albums viewed through a post-punk prism". [3]

<i>Have a Little Faith</i> (Mavis Staples album) 2004 studio album by Mavis Staples

Have a Little Faith is the sixth solo studio album by American soul and gospel singer Mavis Staples, which was released by Alligator Records.

If ever there were a time for Mavis Staples to return to recording, 2004 is it. Her tenure with her family's group the Staple Singers led by her late father Pops offered a steadying, positive presence on the pop scene during the late antiwar unrest and civil rights struggles of the 1960s through the 1970s. They offered up notions of personal responsibility, dignity, and spiritual hope in a heady and uncertain time. Have A Little Faith is a stellar collection of bluesy folk gospel and classic soul grooves recorded for modern times... The album is subtle, laden with beautiful dark grooves, moody guitars, organic percussion, and B-3 and Rhodes piano... Have a Little Faith is a glorious return for Staples and is capable of inspiring those who are lucky enough to encounter it.
