Every Long Journey: Ann Reed

August 27, 2011

My friend Greg posted the youtube of this song as one of the comments. It was he who introduced me to Ann Reed a long while back, and I can’t thank him enough. I figure posting this here will give it the wider audience it deserves. It is from her 1992 album By Request.
