Debra Cowan was once asked what kind of songs she writes. Her reply? “Bad ones. Besides, there are so many good songs out there written by others and they should be sung.” Her captivating warm alto carries each folk song she chooses with such emotion that you’ll forget that they were written by others. She performs a cappella and with guitar in the great tradition of folksingers like Joan Baez and Judy Collins, with a clear vocal that calls forth the ghosts of long past all the while bringing the material into a more modern urban landscape.
Dave “DM” Mattacks is one of the most sought-after drummers in both the United Kingdom and America. With "Fond Desire Farewell", Mattacks makes his debut as the exclusive arranger and producer of Debra Cowan's third solo album, her first with a full band. Mattacks has achieved a soundscape where Cowan's voice is related and responded to rather than just complemented or supported. In addition to himself behind the drum kit, as well as on hammered dulcimer, piano, and organ, Mattacks has assembled some of the best musicians that grace Boston's music scene: Duke Levine on guitar and mandola, Marty Ballou on upright bass, Joyce Anderson on violin, Billy Novick on clarinet, and Mike Barry supplying additional vocals.
