The name of the band is intriguing enough, and conveys several things at once: the voice of God, women on fire, the betrayal of kings, the communion of saints, and the forgiveness of sins.

Kim Treiber has been deeply involved in the Taos music scene for many years. As a bass player and vocalist, she recorded three albums with the band "The Bohiems," and one solo album entitled "Fear No Art," and Kim continues to experiment and grow as a singer/songwriter.

Kirsten Parsons' voice has graced several recording projects with her beautiful Celtic/folk style harmonies. In addition to her vocal talents, Kirsten is a noted visual artist in Taos.

Both Parsons and Treiber have lived in Taos for 14 years, having transplanted from New York and Chicago, respectively. They have been singing together since 1993. The album Love's Flame is Kim and Kirsten's first collaborative recording effort.

Whether a beautifully simplistic duo performance or a high energy, full-on, plugged-in folk-n-roll band, Love's Flame is music that sets your soul on fire.

The songs on Love's Flame are rooted in personal experience, reflecting the universal pain and joy that life offers each of us.

Complimenting the entwining vocals are a variety of instruments, from a single guitar or piano (Can't Bear It / Old Man & Somewhere Along the Road) to a rich full-band sound complete with soulful sax and howling guitars, driven by bass and drums (Burning Joan Again, Sex Is . . . & Owl). Other songs take you back to another era, enhanced by mandolins, violins, tamboura, and Moroccan hand drums (Acts of Love, Another Night, & Come Around).

Burning Joan's Love's Flame stirs the embers of the heart and catches the soul on fire.

Kim Treiber & Kristen Parsons are joined by Chipper Thompson, Don Richmond, Creed D'Avargar, Jimmy Stadler, Mark Dudrow and Dale Smith. This CD was recorded at Howling Dog Recording in Alamosa, Co, and produced by Don Richmond
