BOULDER
by Ferron
(Short Story Records)

Music and Books for the Season by Dennis Michaels

Rolling Stone Magazine has called Canadian folk artist Ferron "a cultural hero." I simply call her one of my favorites and am tremendously impressed with BOULDER, the fourteenth album of her career. The new CD features guest performances by the likes of Ani Di Franco, The Indigo Girls, and Le Tigre's JD Samson and has a freshness and vitality that demonstrates that Ferron is still going strong.
