A native of Durham, North Carolina, Anne “Holly” Woods moved from San Francisco to Toronto in the mid 70’s after fronting Sass, and then Gambler. She was introduced to Brian Allen in 1977, and with the addition of Scott Kreyer, Nick Costello and Jimmy Fox (all native New Yorkers) and Sheron Alton, “Toronto” was formed…one of the most energetic live hard rock acts in Canadian history.
After a string of Top 40 hits and nearly 700,000 albums sold, Toronto disbanded in 1985. Holly Woods and Scott Kreyer relocated to Atlanta, Georgia and began recording at Lowery Studios with producer Sonny Limbo but the sessions were cut short when Sonny passed away suddenly.
The “lost” masters have now been resurrected and with it, the most powerful performance of Holly Woods’ career. Recorded in Atlanta in 1985 with famed producer Sonny Limbo and original Toronto keyboardist Scott Kreyer, the album features eight soulful and hard rocking hits that will satisfy any fans of Holly Woods and Toronto.| |
