You can't help but sing along to the
17 great tunes on the new CD Lunch
At Allen's.
This exceptional recording comes
from a "new" group - four of
Canada's great singers and
songwriters.
It began at Allen's Restaurant in
Toronto when Marc Jordan, Murray
McLachlan and Ian Thomas were
chatting over lunch and realized that
in the course of their three-decade
friendship they had never performed
together.
Feeling the need for a little yin, the
boys invited Cindy Church to join
the party with her sweet voice and
just a touch of Maritime sass.
The CD features 17 cuts
performed live in an evening of
musical harmony as the four artists
play and sing each other's songs.
