Dolan once said just before an Ann Owens
appearance at the AFP that he couldn't decide whether her voice was more
like Anne Murray or Patsy Cline. On that trip, Ann set out to prove
she could really sound like either.
Singing
cover songs such as "Snowbird" or "Crazy"
is something Ann can do very well. Ann also does someting few Arizona
folk artists have done--she sings one of Dolan's original songs, "Lady
of the Ledge" quite regularly.
But
Ann is a songwriter in her own right. Her career began in the country music
world, but she continues to migrate toward more pure Western music. Her
CD, "Arizona" is full of those wonderful songs of the West. That
is her third CD, by the way.
On
"Arizona," Ann recorded a song called "Yuma,
Arizona," a song so great
that she is always welcomed in Yuma with open arms. She also wrote
several songs about the Navajo Indians, including "Last
of the Navajo." Her
song titled simply "Arizona" is another very nice tribute to the state
she has made her home for the last few years.
Ann
is a great guitarist who plays just about as hard as Dolan does, although
hers is a 6-string.
Ann
is a funny lady who likes to include some comedy in her routines. The
photo below gives just a clue about the personality of this lady.
