Anthology – Lizanne Knott (2018)

In Anthology, Ms. Knott tells stories about her wide ranging life experiences and her search for human connection and compassion. To be sure, this Pennsylvania native/mother of four, who left home at the age of 15 has plenty of experiences to draw upon. The song writing is backed by red hot swamp blues session players whose driving rhythm & horns provide an intriguing edge to the more uptempo songs.
