OTHER ALBUMS FEATURING ALICE RIPLEY:


Alice Ripley
Everything's Fine

Next to Normal

"When I pick up my guitar to play, I do it because it re-acquaints me with the pulsating, ever-changing drive that rules my body.  To make music on my own and to practice it every day is the foundation of my creative life.  This time around I am focusing on a selection of songs written by heroes I have yet to meet.  The songs here are examples of excellent songwriting.  I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all of these writers for keeping me alive and giving me a reason to practice." - Alice Ripley

Daily Practice - Volume 1 was produced by Alice Ripley and Kurt Deutsch. The album will be released in stores and online on February 15, 2011. Read more about the album and release here.

"These are covers like you've not heard before. If you are looking for something pleasant to wile away an hour, these aren't for you. If you are looking for lavish production values, look elsewhere. If you are looking for naked passion, you've come to the right place. There is a voice. There is a guitar. And above all there is passion... The talented Miss Ripley (with apologies to Patricia Highsmith) may have been using this music as a form of therapy, but her decision to collect it all on an album gives the rest of us an opportunity to hear what a first rate artist can do with some of the music she and we all love." - Seattlepi.com
