Album information

On the significance of the album title and song "Bravebird", Larrieux told Barnes & Noble:

"I read a story in a magazine and wrote about it. I guess it was a gift to her to extol her bravery. became appropriate also because true supporters of my music found ways to hear the song before it got on the album. It had been floating around to DJs two years ago. And I do shows and perform the song, so everybody knew it. So I started referring to as brave birds when I write messages to them on my web site." It is likely she was referring to Waris Dirie who is the author of Desert Flower.
