“Annie Crane plays fabulous folk with enough thoughtful twang to transport you back in time...” – Time Out New York
“Her lilting, Celtic-inspired voice is prone to soaring. It’s quite beautiful, and she knows it...” – Independent Clauses

The latest track released from NYC-based folk singer Annie Crane’s upcoming album sounds like it could be a traditional folk song. It also sounds like one that really will become an actual traditional folk song. “Money Only Hates Me” captures a common sentiment, made even more common considering our current times and realistically, our times to come.
As with many of the tunes on Crane’s new Jump With A Child’s Heart album, “Money Only Hates Me” is made especially unique by being set amidst life in New York. The song was inspired by real-life events in which Crane lost her singing voice for three months in 2008. Frustrated with bad diagnoses from the only doctors she could afford, Crane eventually recovered, but not without being confronted directly with the harsh reality of being a have-not and a long rehabilitation.
The silver lining is this song. “The city’s like a friend from childhood almost like... like distant kin. In one breadth enraging and supporting all I’d ever want to do,” sings Crane, summing up that time. Performing “Money Only Hates Me” in this city that sheds light on the richest of the rich and the poorest of the poor only makes the song more impactful. Crane will do just that at a record release show for the Jump With A Child’s Heart album this weekend, October 1st at 8PM at The Living Room, (154 Ludlow St.) one of NYC’s havens for new singer-songwriters.
To hammer home the concept of the world’s ambiguous relationship with cash, Crane will be giving away a copy of Jump With A Child’s Heart to each audience member that attends The Living Room performance. The show signals the launch of several weeks of dates that will see Crane performing in bars, lounges and living rooms through the end of November.
Jump With A Child's Heart will be released on October 4th, 2011 by Constant Clip Records. Annie Crane is available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
