Comments:

Originally intended as a 1998 Christmas gift for her father, Clem Harmer, this is Sarah and Jason's personal, home-recorded renditions of pop and country standards. An earthy, down-home recording is earthy, down-home songs, like "Blue Moon of Kentucky", "Tennessee Waltz" "Stormy Weather," "Your Cheatin' Heart" "Summertime", "Sentimental Journey". It says "recorded on the back porch" and it definitely has a home-grown feel to it. Fun, and I love Sarah Harmer's voice, even when she goes country. (Neile)

yep, the main Weepstress in a duo album with this guy Jason. "recorded on the back porch". The titles should be familiar: "Blue Moon of Kentucky", "Tennessee Waltz", "Stormy Weather", "Oh Bury Me Not", "Just a Closer Walk with The"e, and some more. Country, Western Swing, jazz...interesting departure! (art@cs.sfu.ca)
