Sarah McLachlan, Tracy Chapman and the singer-songwriters who defined the 90s. Honest, emotional and made for singing at full volume.
Lilith Fair Flare celebrates the singer-songwriters and powerhouse women of the 90s, inspired by the legendary touring festival. Sarah McLachlan, who founded Lilith Fair, opens with “Into The Fire,” and the list flows through Melissa Etheridge’s “I’m The Only One,” Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” and Sheryl Crow’s “If It Makes You Happy.”
Over 35 songs you’ll find Lisa Loeb, Fiona Apple, k.d. lang, Anna Nalick and Merril Bainbridge’s “Mouth,” plus Concrete Blonde’s “Joey” and ‘Til Tuesday’s “Voices Carry,” which reach back into the late 80s. Ilsey and Bon Iver’s take on “Heart of Gold” brings a modern twist. It’s honest, emotional and full of voices that carried the decade: acoustic guitars, raw lyrics and choruses that were made for singing at full volume on long car rides. Perfect for a rainy day, a big clean-out or a night in with friends who still know every word to “Fast Car.” It’s equal parts nostalgia trip and reminder of just how strong that era of songwriting was.
