THE MUSIC OF TRACY FRIEND (download the songs, purchase the CDs, listen to the music). . .
With her recording, "We Choose Peace," Tracy Friend establishes herself as a powerful voice in the Jewish community. - Craig Taubman
Friend deals with complex issues like gratitude, forgiveness and peace. This album is a gift to parents and teachers. (Aside to camp songleaders - don't miss this one!) - Paul Wieder, JUF News
Tracy's newest release is We Choose Peace, a wonderful collection of inspirational songs on peace, prayer and Possibility. Based on biblical and liturgical text, this CD is focused on our commitment to work towards peace between all nations as we take care of the world around us. Ranging from rock to rap and from folk to jazz, Tracy has the uncanny ability to capture the essence of our prayers, thoughts and dreams in her music.
Tracy's debut CD is a wonderful journey through the spiritual experience of Jewish prayer. Tracy's original compositions are creative and engaging, and will soon have you singing along. When All is Said and Done ranges fromfolk to jazz, from light rock to ballads to more traditional Sephardic fare.
