Catalog Number: GRLP1108 Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 4015698158694 Debut album by 16 Horsepower founding member Jean Yves Tola solo-project, featuring Chantal Acda as main vocalist. ,,Feathers" is the first official album from Jean Yves Tola since 16 Horsepower separated in 2005. ALOWAN is the side of 16 Horsepower that has not been heard before. As a founding member of the alternative country band from Denver, Colorado, Tolas arrangements, music and influence in the band was always clearly present through their career. This is a more personal and intimate vision. In collaborations with a few friends and musicians "Feathers" is a body of work to be reckoned with. Tola presents 10 beautiful and dark folk songs. Chantal Acda, the main vocalist, will carry you to the clouds with her light but deep tones and poetic lyrics. ALOWAN takes her to new territories and her talent shows. The Texan Calvin Dover (Dover Brothers) accompanies her on a couple of tracks making the duet irresistible. A few others join Tola in this project, such as Steve Taylor (former 16 Horsepower guitar player) and Theo Hakola of the famed Orchestre Rouge and Passion Fodder. With ,,Feathers", Tola shows his versatility as a composer, a producer but also as a musician.
