Does anybody know if Lisa Dalbellos "Whomanfoursays" is released on CD ?
If not, does anybody know if it will be released in the near future ?
Rumours says that she is to release a new record soon; is this true ?
She is very popular in Norway and has sold quite a lot of records here
(compared to our population of 4 million people of course !).

     Can't help you with that, but here's some Dalbello trivia.
She's a Canadian and used to be seen on an old CBC program of
CBC studio musicians doing cover versions of the hits.  (The
host's name was Keith something and the logo for the show was a
big lower-case "k" and their theme song at the end was "Proud
Mary" -- does anyone remember what this show was called?  As I
remember it was not bad, at least by CBC-TV standards.)

     Anyway, Dalbello is still heard quite regularly doing the
singing on Canadian commercials for beer, etc. (as is David
Clayton Thomas, formerly of Blood Sweat & Tears).  Her first
solo release was extremely mainstream, but since then by all
reports she's become more experimental.  Hence she is not played
too often on commercial radio (which now includes FM, at least
in Vancouver), and I have actually NEVER HEARD HER for about 5
years at least.  As with the group Saga, she seems to be quite
popular in Europe but almost unknown in Canada and the US.
