"Oliviatown"

NOTE: As of 1/1/05, "Oliviatown" is, once again, sold out. Check the website often for updates about future re-orders!

In November of last year, a children's book version of allen's song "Oliviatown", which includes a 4 track CD, was completed as a benefit for the Children's Miracle Network. The book is a collaboration with one of allen's favorite artists, Garry Pound (www.garrypound.com). We have a very limited number (only 100) copies available for purchase for $22.95 including postage and handling.

The CD includes a new studio recording of allen's song, a live version of the song with allen 's monologue from a performance which he did last August with guitarist John Evans and keyboardist Dewayne Creswell, and readings of the book by Garry Pound and Sissy Doll. The book, while written for children, draws praise from adult readers as a rich visual, reading and listening experience.
