^ j v K/r »i i «-rJ v r fv«.»• SARAH McLACIILAN/The Free-oi dom Sessions (Nettwerk).Don’t be fooled by the fact that :• these songs are alternate versions -and outtakes from McLachlan’s dou-v .ble-platinum, Grammy-nominated ^Fumbling Towards Ecstasy.Freedom Sessions provides 38 minutes of scaled-down, often live-in-tbe-studio versions of songs that appeared on Fumbling. She has a wonderfully expressive voice that shines in this stripped-down format. The sparse sound gives range to her voice and adds to the emotion of the material.On the heartfelt ballad Mary, she accompanies herself on piano and guitar, while on the delicate Hold On, it’s just her voice and her piano. Her electric guitar on Ice serves as a wonderfully ragged and rough break from the softness. Only two tracks feature her backup band (which includes Winnipegger Luke Doucet on slide guitar): the standout Elsewhere and a cover of Tom Waits’01'55.****John LyonsVARIOUS ARTISTS/Cinnamon Toast Compilation. . .
