For singer/songwriter Zane's third CD A STRANGER IN TOWN she has enlisted the aid of virtuoso guitarist Andrew Green as both collaborator and arranger. More than willing to blur the boundaries between jazz, rock, pop and country, the duo have succeeded in creating a highly polished and well thought out merger of the genres. A Stranger in Town expresses it’s own distinctive perspective of heartbreak, emancipation, shattered illusions and hopefulness in its refreshing reimaginings of well-known and forgotten gems. Zane is ably assisted by Green on guitar and is given the space to show off her multi-octave range and emotional depth.
