 Peggy van Zalm - Light Diamond

"On her new solo album Light Diamond, singer/songwriter Peggy Van Zalm continues to write some of the most affecting moving music around.  The former lead singer of the late '80s Perth outfit Martha's Vineyard, Van Zalm's solo career has yielded five albums of thoughtful and meditative folk.  With a voice that suggests the tenderness of Joni Mitchell or the sly finesse of Chrissy Hynde, Van Zalm's work is always rich in wisdom and heart.  Now making her home in the small village of Elands, located on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, Van Zalm has found herself collaborating with local musicians and using these collaborations to inform her own songwriting process.  From the gentle pop tug of "Mercy" to the spare and rousing "Rise," Light Diamond is a rare and special album, filled with a wealth of warmth and melody." Alex Green of Caught in the Carousel

The spirit of the community and the beauty and purity of the natural environment nurtured the music and the project." read more, Peggy's interview with Alex Green of Caught In The Carousel
