Her first self titled album (1989) produced four Top 40 hits, “Love Is”, “Lover of Mine”, and “Still Got This Thing”, as well as the number one international smash, “Black Velvet”, which she won a Grammy award for best female rock performance, along with several Juno Awards, a Diamond award for sales in excess of 1,000,000 in Canada - the only artist who still retains this status for her debut record. ASCAP awarded the song a 'Millionaire Award' in 2005 for over 4 million radio plays of “Black Velvet” in the USA. SOCAN awarded the songs, “Black Velvet” and “Lover Of Mine” each with an award for over 100,000 plays in Canada in 2005 with her #1 hit song “Instead Of A Kiss” to follow. Her follow-up album; Rockinghorse (1992) received a Grammy nomination and three Juno Awards. After the sale of over eight million records, she concluded her alliance with Atlantic and signed on with Miles Copeland's Ark 21 Records to release her fourth record Arrival (1997), which had the top 40, hit Bad 4 You. She also released THE VERY BEST OF ALANNAH MYLES (1999) containing hits from all four albums. After an eight year songwriting hiatus Alannah has re-emerged, energized, with a new album, and has chosen to call it Black Velvet in order to re-connect with her millions of fans. Black Velvet contains all brand new studio recordings along with Black Velvet 2007, a new recording with a contemporary arrangement of her classic hit. Co-produced by hotly touted Torontonian Mike Borkosky and mixed by renown producer Terry Brown, Black Velvet will be released in Europe in the fall of 2007 with North American spring release to follow in 2008. QUOTES: “A good song lives on til well after we're gone. It has the power to inspire others and move hearts without their even being fully aware." Though I never realized it until years later, my art had become a direct reflection of the way I felt about instant fame. Though I was lauded respect for the accolade my music created, I learned to use what fame brought me as a weapon against all that is false or low. God put me on this planet to accomplish a certain amount of things. "Right now, I'm so far behind, I can never die!"

I love the deep southern tones of this song. It surely is one to have playing while enjoying a few drinks with friends...
