Zimmerman, Lorri - Lorri Zimmerman (CD)

Original release 1969
Re-issue Fall Out Records (UK)

Having sung with Canadian hippie rockers Life, this superb vocalist recorded her only solo album for the tiny Crescent City label in 1969. Alternating between tender ballads and psych-tinged rock and roll, it's a consistently strong set that has long been a well-kept secret amongst connoisseurs of underground music. Zimmerman went on to tour as a backing singer for Leonard Cohen, before forming pop-rockers Toulouse in the mid-70s - but it's this rare album that best showcases her powerful, affecting voice.
