EDITORIAL REVIEWS
'Songs From A Stolen Spring brings together artists of the east and west to collaborate and celebrate with multilingual songs of freedom. The album opens up with 'Blind Boys of Alabama' singing Richie Havens' classic 'Freedom'. the song seamlessly blends with 'A New Beginning'- a song from Egypt's 'Eskenderella' that comes from the protests in Tahrir Square.

The Album features performances from every single genre including Glenn Tillbrook of Squeeze, Ray Benson of Asleep at the Wheel, Soozie Tyrell (E Street Band), blockbuster film singer-songwriter Lisbeth Scott, American bluesmen Terry Evans and Mighty Sam McClain, and singer-songwriter Maria McKee.

It will also serve as an introduction to western listeners to the music of Palestine's Rim Banna, Lebanon's Tania Saleh, Egypt's Dina El Wedidi, Massar Egbari, and Ramy Essam, and Tunisia's Lobna Noomene and Mounir Troudi.
