Joanie Pallatto - "It's Not Easy" from Southport Records, "Real Music Made In Chicago."
Rick Kogan of The Chicago Tribune says of Joanie Pallatto: "A Stirring and Special Voice."
Vocalist and Songwriter Joanie Pallatto offers music and lyrics for ten original songs, from mellow jazz-tinged vocals, pop-reggae fun, flowing ballads to fiery latin grooves - featuring guitarist Fareed Haque, the piano and harmonica of Howard Levy, percussion by Alejo Poveda, Bradley Parker-Sparrow on piano, john E. Magnan and Eric Hochberg on electric bass, John Devlin on accordion, guitars, and bass - plus Magic, the Dog!
An improvisation by Joanie Pallatto, Bradley Parker-Sparrow, drummer Michael Raynor and the late, great acoustic bassist Eldee Young is track #8, "Tickle, Tickle." Fareed Haque accompanies Joanie on the bossa ballad, track #3, "It's Not Easy." Hear John Devlin's accordion sounds on track #2, "Until I Touch the Ground," and Howard Levy blowing harmonica and playing piano to accompany Joanie on track #9, "A Love That Never Dies." Alejo Poveda cranks up the fun on track #7, "Happy Life." Joanie's voice and Sparrow's piano combine on track #6, the haunting "Lonely Train. Track #10, "Remember Me" flows with the groove of bassist john e. Magnan to close the CD in a loving tribute to Joanie's mother, Charlotte Pallatto.
Produced by Bradley Parker-Sparrow at Sparrow Sound Design Recording Studio in Chicago (2005-2007.) "Tickle, Tickle" was recorded on January 13, 2004. God Bless Eldee Young.

From liner notes by B. P. Sparrow: "It's Not Easy is a record. There isn't a side A and B, but the work falls from the voice and heart of Joanie Pallatto. Images flow in black and white, with color past small towns, exotic locations and large smoked out cities. Musicians blend like families at a picnic. Time is frozen, and no one ever leaves, but stays the season."
