Atlanta based Singer/Songwriter Doria Roberts has released her fifth recording project, a new 26 track, live disc entitled "Alive & Well" (out March 8, 2002).

The album is a culmination of solo, band, spoken word and storytelling performances from shows captured live at Eddie's Attic (Decatur, GA) and the Red Light Cafe (Atlanta) in June & August 2001 and January 2002.

ABOUT THE CD (in her own words...) "I had been planning on releasing a live album for awhile.

"I released an authorized live bootleg in 1996 by the same name but it was a limited release (currently out of print) and it kind of got lost in the shuffle when I relocated from Philadephia to Atlanta."

"'Alive & Well' is a lot more lighthearted than my other releases. I always hope to produce something "real" and accessible, but for this recording, I also wanted focus on laughter, laughing at our imperfections, surviving, living and moving on."

"So, I left in a lot of stories, a few missteps and some priceless audience interaction. It's just a LOT of fun. Enjoy it!"

    i have been listening to this cd nonstop since i got it...and by the way it took all of 2 days to get here which was fabulous...so i saw doria at pride last year and finally got around to getting one of her cds...decided to buy the live cd and am so glad i did...love all the songs and love her commentary...she's very witty, obviously very intelligent...i think she has amazing talent and i can't wait to get her new cd...there are few artists whose lyrics truly speak to me and she is one of them...hope to see her at pride again this year!

    This CD Alive and Well is amazing. As always Doria Roberts pulls off an amaing album and the live versions make it that much more enjoyable!

  • An Amazing CD !
    author: victoria

    "Alive & Well" is just perfect (though it still does not give justice to seeing Doria live). The CD truly shows how Doria is a wonderful and talented musician/woman. A must have CD for all Doria fans!!!

  • An amazing voice with a gift for song writing
    author: Sarah

    I saw Doria in Australia in 2004 & she was fantastic, it took me a while to track down this cd, but it was worth the wait. An amazing voice with a gift for song writing, its been hard to get out of the cd player since it arrived!

  • Perfect CD ever
    author: katrina

    After only haveing the first cd of the alive and well ( a friend gave it to me as payment for dreadlocking her hair) i searched for the next year for this album because i wanted both of them. after driving 3 hours to hear doria loive in philly, she told me that she would have it back in the market. the moment it went back on sale... i was there. and dont regret it at all. i love it. will tell everyone that this is my perfect cd.

  • Doria - real, bare, a generous soul sharing her experience.
    author: Shanti Marsena

    Doria Roberts album Alive and Well is wonderful. My two favorites are Restoration and Perfect. I'd love to hear more from this talented soul. Doria - please come visit Houston!

  • A Must Have CD
    author: Angel

    This cd is one of the best I've ever owned. It's refreshing to hear an artist that combines a vividly honest veiw of our world with a stunning sense of humor and grace. Not to mention the fact that she rocks the house with tracks like Restoration, Hold On Me, and Iguana. There's a song for every day of the week on this collection. In one word, Perfect.

  • Amazing, Funny and Moving!
    author: Laura

    This CD is amazing. Doria Roberts is awesome and this CD truly captures what it is like to attend one of her live shows. This CD is a mix of her talent and personality. I can't stop listening to it over and over and over....I can't get enough of this music:)

  • A definite original! Fun and deep and all that good stuff!
    author: Maria

    This CD captures Doria's stage presence (as well as any CD can) and her unique way of relating an image and mood through her songs. People always ask me who I'm playing in my CD-ROM at work, and I tell them that if they buy only one live album this Holiday season, "Alive and Well" is the one to get!

  • Fabulous! Fabulous! Fabulous!
    author: BBC

    This CD is a must have if you are into Doria Roberts at all! Both discs in the set have become a mainstay in my car's changer. I can't get enough of her voice and there is something on this album for everyone in any mood!

  • Just like having her in front of you!
    author: Sara

    After hearing Doria live, I knew a live album was the way to go. My guess paid off and I have been delighted with the beauty of her music and voice. The album is almost like being in the audience of her show...of course, without Doria...still, the music is incredible; creative, emotional, powerful. If you like the feeling of a cafe, or small club performance, this is a great cd choice.

  • Incredible...
    author: kevin mcclurg

    After stumbling onto Doria around the time this was released and listening to a few clips from the album, I ordered it. It's rarely left my stereo since. This album is awe-inspiring and filled with tracks that get stuck in my head. As good as her studio albums are, the live experience is so much more electric. An excellent purchase.

  • can't wait to hear her play live!
    author: new fan

    i bought this for my girlfriend after randomly downloading the song 'portrait' (not on this disc) from somewhere. she loves it! but now i have to frequently steal it back because i want to listen to it.

  • Even better than I had hoped.
    author: cs

    I bought this CD on a whim after hearing Black Pearl. I was very impressed with this Dora Roberts and will definitely purchase more of her work.

  • A rare treat hearing black women who love women singing folk music. Very refres
    author: Kim

    Doria Roberts is an accomplished songwriter and this live double CD showcases her tremendous talent. Though the lyrics are at times a trifle trite, her guitar playing and voice make this a very listenable recording. It's great for road trips or studying and her sense of humour shines in the several interludes and in the song "Waitress Lament." She's down to earth and great for cozying with your sweetie.

  • passion in her voice
    author: doria fan

    Doria has great song writing ability. I told every girl I know about her music. I am glad she has more albums for me to buy.
