about

14 songs for voice alone

credits

released January 1, 2010

One voice alone may be the most common form of music in the world, though at the moment many people encounter it only in the lullaby or in the shower. So, for the time being, this recording represents both a radical idea and a lost art overdue for a comeback. Soul of the January Hills was about one hour and many years in the making - about an hour to sit down and sing 14 songs in a row as they came to me and many years of working to the point where I could do that well enough to want to share it beyond my immediate family. It's meant for listening, but you could also learn a couple of the songs and sing them yourself. As long as it doesn't bother the neighbors too much it might be a good thing. - Tim Eriksen, Amherst, MA, January 2010
