We cherish new releases like Deidre's latest because they ring out everything wonderful and enduring in the Women's Music Movement. Deidre's music remains vitally critical of patriarchal power, fiercely loving of women, children and the earth, and tenderly considerate of her roots and lifelong devotions. These songs pour out in a pristine, blood-thick current.

Gathered here are some of our favorite Women's Music figures, too. Among them, Teresa Trull acted as producer, Linda Tillery blessed this project throughly with her musicianship, and friends Nina Gerber, Vicki Randall and Barbara Higbie sat in with others.
