This page contains a brief overview on the album ANNA ROLAND: Anna Roland. Learn more about the artist and explore the track lists and website. If you find any information that needs to be corrected, please let us know.

 
anna roland's joni mitchell, ani difranco and melissa ferrick influenced vocals combined with her rhythmic, funky, jazzy, folky guitar takes one hell of a run on sentence to describe. anna roland began her career playing on the streets of st. louis and gathering enough cash to jam with some friends and lay down an album. this self-titled album is anna's first studio recorded project under roadhouse tunes. her compilations extend from politically and socially conscious folk songs, to groovin' jazzy tunes, and even ballads including string accompanyment. so go ahead a take a test taste of this starving artist's claim to fame, she'll leave you wanting oodles more!

"a very, very, good record showcasing a very, very, individual voice...it's an excellent first album, from a very excellent artist"
-eric carter, the confluence

"she would be the one i would most put in the joan baez category, although she's a little bit edgier."
-lori reed:program assoc. + anti-war project coordinator of the american friends service committee
