The Kansas City Star “There’s (listening) gold in these discs”
January 18th, 2007 at 7:04pmThey may not be chartbusters, but these soon-to-come CDs are sound winners.
Elana James, “Elana James” (Snarf Records)
Around here, folks know her as Elana Fremerman, the fiddler in the now-defunct Hot Club of Cowtown. When that band imploded unexpectedly, she toured with Dylan for a while, contemplated a future outside music, then gathered some friends and ringers in Austin – including Johnny Gimble on fiddle/mandolin – and made this appealing record. The 13 songs include several originals and covers of Dylan (“One More Night”) and Duke Ellington/Billy Strayhorn (“I Don’t Mind”). The fiddle is still her forte, but her songwriting and vocals are gaining on it rapidly. (Feb. 27)

"A beautiful voice, a fantastic musician, with the heart and soul of an angel."
-Willie Nelson
It's been so nice to be home for a little while. Finally started to think about answering some questions from, like, months ago!! Here's a starter--flawed, yes, but at least I was able to stitch two videos together, which for me is a triumph! Will hope to get better at it as I go along. So for now, I hope this can be helpful. :) Thank you! Elana

You make it look so easy.
Of all the interviews Lupa and I have gotten to do, I am probably most proud of this tiny, brief one. Thank you, Animal Equality for including me in the latest issue. We plan to continue to working on your behalf, and for all animals, for many years to come!

Elena- I’ve been a fan of yours for a while, and travelled to see you several times after hearing Cow Town in my home town of Idaho Falls. Reading this story about you THRILLS me! I’ve been on what sounds like a similar experience of reevaluating the way I feel about our relationships with animals, and especially animals who are existing and suffering in our broken factory farming system. I feel like a switch has been flipped and I will never see the world in the same way once I really listened to my heart. 🌱 Thank you for having the courage to become an open activist for animals; you have the potential to have so much influence! I’ll definitely be following this group now! And I hope you’re back in ID or MT to perform soon!
Beautiful!
Great article. I so agree. One oh my favorite charities is a pig rescue in Arizona
Love you even more❤️❤️
