Notes / Reviews
This 2013 double-disc package includes a 1-hour documentary about Ferron, and a new full album by Ferron.

Thunder is an intimate portrait of Canadian folk-singer Ferron. Anchored on an unlikely inter-generational friendship between the two musicians Ferron and Bitch, Billie Jo Cavallaro weaves surrealist dream-like imagery throughout.

Lighten-ing is the accompanying album, featuring both new and classic songs by Ferron, including a song she and Bitch wrote together, Army Of You.

After Bitch met visual/video-artist Billie Jo Cavallaro and introduced her to Ferron, Bitch and Billie Jo began to talk about making a documentary about the artist, featuring tracks from the CD Boulder and live shows that Bitch and Ferron have done over the years.

B+B (Bitch and Billie Jo) launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund the project, and Executive Producers Leslie Gearhart and Ian Hagemann quickly signed on.

Thunder is not your average documentary. It doesn't give us a timeline approach, nor does it tell Ferron's life story. Instead, Cavallaro and Bitch capture a 'window into the artist' --- where we are affected on a subconscious level. It tells the tale of an intergenerational friendship that explores ideas of legacy vs. invisibility and the artist vs. the world.

The package also includes a 32-page booklet with photos, reviews, poems and song lyrics, making this an essential addition to every fan's library.
