Review
Alice Bisits, Readings Port Melbourne
Last year, Ms Stonethreatened to forfeit hercontract with EMI overtheir lack of support. It wasgoing to cost her twomillion pounds to do this,so reluctantly she agreed to stay. This is herfourth and final album with the companyand after several delays, it is finally released.It shows all her trademark guts and groove;her voice is just amazing and the arrangementsare so slick. The track Free Me is anobvious dig at her recent battle with EMIand will attract attention for all the rightreasons. Seasoned musicians Jeff Beck andDavid Sanborn appear on tracks and clearlyraise the bar with their professionalism.
