notes
Marie Duprey is a vocalist with a singularly beautiful voice. Her rich alto rings clear and carries through traditional and contemporary settings with ease.
On her debut CD, Watch the Tide, Marie’s voice is highlighted and supported by accomplished musicians such as Brooks Williams, John Kirk, Shannon Heaton, and Robbie O’Connell. Singer-songwriter, Robbie O’Connell also produced the CD. Lending his fine musical ear, and deft hand to the overall feel of this recording. The end result of their combined efforts and talents is a debut album of fine musicianship, beautifully nuanced harmonies and high production values.
The CD includes “Crazy Pine Farm”, a bittersweet snapshot of life on a failing New England dairy farm, written by Michael Ross; “Watch the Tide”, an original penned by Marie and Michael, with a distinctly traditional feel, which conjures the seaside in a haunting lament; Free Little Bird, an up-tempo traditional number, given a wonderful spin by the guitar virtuoso, Brooks Williams; “One Day I Walk”, Marie’s interpretation of a simple and stunning song by Bruce Cockburn; and other originals, traditional and contemporary songs of equally fine range and depth. The project comes together in a journey through a profound and beautiful landscape, exploring personal connections and the human condition with clarity and grace.

World music in our own backyard
author: Sarah O.Marie Duprey and friends have crafted a lovely compilation... her pure, clear voice transports you to distant shores and back to local lands. These songs stay with you in the best of ways, resonant with joy, longing and the truths of life.
Clear, strong voice, first-rate musicianship, crafted with care.
author: bruceA clear, strong, confident voice. The musicianship on all the tracks is first-rate. I particularly enjoyed One Day I Walk, Sleepy-Eyed Boy, and the Wood Thrush's Song. Of the originals I enjoyed Watch the Tide. Crafted with care and originality.
