Against All Odds – CD 17 tracks
$25.00
The competing demands of full-time work, building a house and bringing up a child can make it challenging to hang on to a music career. Against all Odds was a project which took passion, determination and logistics to gather up 37 musicians to rehearse and record a bunch of songs representing 20 years of Teresa’s songwriting.
The result was 17 numbers spanning rock, reggae, jazz, soul and a bit of poetry. Produced in 2009 in NW Tasmania with music relevant to any time.
$5 from the sale of every album continues to be donated to Amnesty International.
