Nora Brown, at 16 years of age, plays with beauty and depth in the performances captured on her new album, 'Long Time To Be Gone'. Recorded at St. Ann's Church, a large 19th century church with vaulted stone ceilings, the album combines the raw and immediate quality of a folkloric field recording, the audio fidelity of a studio album and the resonance of a remarkably beautiful acoustic space. The songs, and instrumentals on this record draw the listener in: They are poignant and transformative, challenging listeners to allow old and "outsider" music into their present day life.
