Alice Wallace: Sweet Madness SIGNED ARTWORK
Alice Wallace has been writing songs and playing music since she was 16. But now, she's playing for real. Her debut album, 'Sweet Madness,' was recorded at The Compound Studio in Long Beach, Calif., in July of 2011, and was co-produced by The Compound's owner and manager, Anthony Arvizu. Arvizu and Alice met through mutual musical friends, and after a couple of short recording and brainstorming sessions they decided to go forward with recording the entire album. "I was immediately impressed by her singing and I felt that I could help her with the production of her songs." Arvizu says. Alice had hardly more than a few hours' worth of studio recording experience under her belt when she showed up at The Compound, so Arvizu's experience behind the board helped her refine the songs for the album. Arvizu has worked with a long list of Orange County and Los Angeles bands, as well as national acts like Sublime, the Mars Volta and Ryan Bingham. With a style that falls somewhere between the alt-country crooning of Emmylou Harris and the bluesy timbre of Bonnie Raitt, Alice draws from simple and honest folk melodies she learned from her father growing up when crafting her songs about life, love and the pursuit of that ever-elusive happiness.
After moving to the Los Angeles area three years ago from her lifelong home in Florida, Alice threw herself into the performing circuit - steadily attracting larger audiences and landing opening spots with well-known artists like Lisa Loeb, Shawn Mullins, Sophie B. Hawkins and Shawn Colvin. She raised the last bit of money she needed to record this album with help from friends and fans across the country, and Alice's wide-ranging influences are evident on the finished product - a bit of rock, a bit of jazz, a bit of pop, but always folk at heart. Though most of the songs on the album were written within the past couple of years, tracks 'Baby I Do' and 'That Was Me' have been in Alice's repertoire for years. And since she has closed nearly every show for the past several years with a song about teaching herself to yodel in college, she couldn't make an album without a little yodeling to wrap it up.
Wallace is a golden-toned songstress who wavers from soft and airy to full and passionate depending on the style of song, which could be anything from folk to blues to old style country. --Sarah Payne, Corvallis Gazette-Times
Sweet Madness is a rich album, filled with emotion and surprising turns that are sensuous and inviting. So, welcome to an album that makes honey off the lovelorn maddening days. --Yvette Quintero, Music in Press Website
With Sweet Madness, Alice Wallace displays an immense amount of talent, most notably in the quality of her voice, which is gilded lightning. Her lyrics may be relatively simple, but they are powerfully emotional and deeply personal, while her music is well crafted and often spot-on to the mood she s looking to create. It's not a perfect album, but for a first effort it is stunning, far better than many notable artists produce at the height of their careers. --Jason D. Diesel Hamad, NoSurfMusic

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
