The original songs on Woe is Me are taken from a large repertoire, spanning 15 years. The selections were chosen because of their individualized reflection of relationships - between people, and between humanity and the earth. The music and poems give depressing gloom a poetic backdrop of love and hope. This recording is available by contacting us directly or at www.cdbaby.com/jabertram.
The beautiful artwork on the cover of Woe is Me was painted by Stardreamer, a.k.a Ritchie Sinclair - I've enlarged it for the detail (it may take a few seconds to upload!) As a good friend, Ritchie understood my passage through major changes. This piece encapsulates the joy of being where you are while still mourning the past...
