Although Near is known for her work in social change music, this moving (and often humorous) look at love and relationships is a delightful surprise. These 19 songs, covering styles from pop/rock to country to jazz, round out the series of collections released over the last few years. One often overlooked impression becomes clear: Holly Near is a great singer. 'OK. OK. Some of you have asked about all the love songs that haven't made it to the other collections. So here they are. I had no idea there were so many. Turn the volume up real loud and clean house!' Holly Near is a unique combination of entertainer, teacher and activist. An immense vocal talent, Near's career as a singer has been profoundly defined by an unwillingness to separate her passion for music from her passion for human dignity. She is a skilled performer and an outspoken ambassador for peace who brings to the stage an integration of world consciousness, spiritual discovery, and theatricality
