Sounds Like"Crane's music is mature, minimalist, and she's got a depth to her voice that lends credence to even her most mythical poetic wanderings...Finally, here's a girl-guitar combo that is unapologetic but never angsty". - Jordan Levinson. View full CD Review here.

-Urban Folk Zine - New York, NY

"This EP is too short!...I am highly recommending it." - Amy Lotsberg. View full CD Review on Collected Sounds.

-www.CollectedSounds.com - Minneapolis, MN

"Crane's sound is a mild Celtic folk found on Shanachie releases and 60s forebears like Joan Baez". -Jon Berger

-Urban Folk Zine - New York, NY

"New York's Annie Crane tackles traditional folk topics in her acoustic performances. Check out "Nowhere to Go" [written by Eric Wolfson] for a FEMA-era New Orleans lament, which highlights Crane's Baez/Williams vocals. Violinist Money Roney frequently accompanies".

-www.Flagpole.com - Athens, GA

"Annie Crane plays mournful songs with a voice that echoes Nancy Griffin, Joan Baez and Richard Thompson. Favoring a chugging guitar strum ala-Mark Kozelek, she spun a set of heartbreak that I thoroughly enjoyed". -Ben Krieger

   About Annie Crane
Web Small Visit the site!

"ANNIE CRANE'S soaring Baez vocals (without that overbearing, church singer quality), and rustic Americana-to-European-mountaintop (quite a trip!) songwriting will make you want to hug the person next to you. Her voice is like chasing a butterfly: a sound you'll never be able to catch, but one that leaves enough feeling in the air to make you forget it's gone - like all the stuff that glides by your window on a cross-country drive: the perfect canvas for the daydreams in your head to start wandering....like that one bird you always see taking off into the landscape, not held down by any of it." -Mike Baglivi, New Jersey's Lone Wolf

Annie your website looks BEAUTIFUL! Really, i am so proud to see you moving along and getting your songs out!

PARADE OF TONGUES
(for my songwriter friends)

I understand now
the furrow of the brow
the distribution of the weight
the ringing of the towel
the unexpected gem
lurking in the bowels
the tedious digestion
the horny lover's howl

The world is a parade of tongues
searching for their meaning
A midnight maid who's cut corners on her cleaning
A drooling baby frustrated with his teething
A paralyzed wife whose suitcase dreams of leaving

And I'm relaxing within the wounds of time
the gloves slip off and fade
I'm traveling alone
in the ripples of Eve's wake
To ask anything of this world
is the common man's mistake
So I've put out my begging bowl
and left it up to fate

The world is a parade of tongues
searching for their meaning
A midnight maid who's cut corners on her cleaning
A drooling baby frustarated with his teething
A paralyzed wife whose suitcase dreams of leaving

So when we meet again my friend
I'll wear the moment like a dress
and cup the soft shell of your ear
move my lips close and confess
that I've wanted the highest things
the bright lights and golden crests
but I've settled for the wealth of words
and must admit I am blessed!
