Cheryl Wheeler - Different Stripe (2003) [Flac] torrent

After a short stint at Capital in the late '80s, singer/songwriter Cheryl Wheeler found a more permanent home at Philo, where she recorded albums like Driving Home (1993) and Mrs. Pinocci's Guitar (1995). Different Stripe offers a lengthy retrospective of her impressive musical career, and although it has been released by Philo, it contains several selections from her work with Capitol. Wheeler is an introspective songwriter with a contemporary folk sensibility.

This is mostly a compilation album. There are two previously unrecorded songs on this album: Gandhi/Buddha and Walk Around Downtown. The others are from her previous albums.

This isn't really a "Best Of" album. It was put together by Tony Gottlieb, Cheryl's manager. It is essentially Tony's favorite ballads.

The purpose of this album is to introduce Cheryl to a wider audience. An infomercial has been put together by mixing Cheryl's video What Do I Care? I Don't Have Any Kids Construction Company with offers for this album. In addition, the CD has some software such that you can access www.musicnotes.com and download actual sheet music from Cheryl.
