Description

The twelve ”unaccompanied” songs Anita Best sings on this album have kept company with generations of Newfoundland singers to whom they belong. They are accompanied thanks to producer Pamela Morgan, by a profound and welcome silence. Crosshanded is the first Amber Music CD of old-time Newfoundland songs sung a cappella by a Newfoundland singer. It is a beautiful tribute to the many singers who have helped to sustain the important and vibrant oral tradition throughout generations of Newfoundland culture. Anita is one of Newfoundland’s most fierce advocates and her devotion was met with the honouring of the Order of Canada.
