{ Ready }
Ready is the album Allison long aspired to create:
daring, uncompromising, challenging. Ready opens with the ethnic rhythms of Let It Go and closes with the exquisite horn arrangements on Advent of You. In between, she deftly fits the devastating Tide ("You never wanted me
instead, you wanted me as well"), Dorothy's Reply, a funk-inspired song that uses the Wizard of
Oz as a metaphor for forging a path in the music industry ("The trees laughed and threw things
this way and that, said "if you ain't got the chops, Dot, you'd better turn back") and the lusty
title track, Ready. Provocative and compelling, Ready paints the portrait of a fiercely independent
woman struggling to find the balance between passion and control, love and freedom, ambition and
surrender...Allison Tartalia is Ready.
