From Bobby Gentry's "Ode to Billie Joe" and John Prine's "Sam Stone" to Springsteen's "Highway Patrol Man" and KRS ONE's "Love's Gonna Getcha," the great songs of our time are the songs that tell the stories of a people. It's those tales and ballads told through music that has sustained us through the passage of time and the waxing and waning of Top 40 trends. One artist who takes that story-telling tradition to heart on every record and every stage is C. R. Avery. His new collection of songs unfolds like an homage to the unsung heroines of the outskirts of contemporary society. It's part oral history and part social commentary couched in literature for the forgotten faces of a reality TV picture frame. Don't miss the launch of All the Angels Didn't Scare Me.
