Hold the Rain

"A beautifully unique way of capturing the spirit of her people while going out on her own with this great acoustic collection." -CD Baby Reviews
Pura Fe Crescioni has released her 2nd solo album, "Hold The Rain" on the Music Maker label. Pura Fe has long been known as an activist and a mouthpiece for the often-stifled Native American voice; however, on "Hold the Rain", Pura Fe puts aside her role as an activist and delivers a very personal album featuring her powerful voice and slide guitar skills. She is joined by one of Seattle's finest guitarists, Danny Godinez. The whole album is infused with Danny's heavy, melodic acoustic guitar picking. It is an interactive CD with exclusive video content.
Each track shows Pura Fe's passion for life and her dedication to following her heart. Her version of Summertime, dedicated to her mother, is sweet and reflective of her childhood when she was introduced to the song. If I was Your Guitar was inspired by Kelly Joe Phelps whose lap slide led Pura Fe into falling in love with music all over again. Also included is an anthem written to unite the tribes of the Carolinas and Virginia, a traditional piece recorded with Native singers and instrumentalists surrounding Pura Fe's ethereal lead vocals.
