Annie has completed recording her independent second CD, "Broken Cookies," with noted producer Steve Addabbo (Shawn Colvin, Suzanne Vega, Sonya Kitchell). Twelve songs have just been mastered. The CD will be released in the Spring of 2009. Downloads will be available online soon. Famed Folk photographer Robert Corwin shot the photos for the CD in early September. Please bookmark this page and come back soon to see these images! HEAR THREE SONGS RIGHT NOW (top right side of this page). Except for a newly recorded version of the audience favorite "One Planet At A Time," Annie wrote all 12 songs expressly for this CD, including the title tune, "Broken Cookies," a collaboration with producer Steve Addabbo. Addabbo plays lead guitar and bass on most of the songs. Other players include Denny McDermott (drums), Rex Benincasa (percussion), George Wurzbach (piano) and Tom Welsch (bass). Fans can expect more emotional lyrics, singing with an edgier, more immediate feel, and songs about what the singer/songwriter's been living through over this past year or so. Unemployment, the tension between a woman's desire for independence and the need for human intimacy, the urgency of saving our Environment and recovery from depression are some of the themes Dinerman tackles with humor and without frills. "I wanted to write and record songs about who I am now," Dinerman admits. "I wanted to write about what so many people are going through in this tough time. And I wanted to return to the intensity that was in my writing and singing when I was in my teens and didn't know how to hide."

Annie Dinerman received a grant in May 2007 from the Anna Sosenko Assist Trust. The grant was awarded to cover some studio expenses for her new CD, "Broken Cookies," produced by Steve Addabbo (see above). Anna Sosenko herself was a noted producer, composer and arranger. She is best known for the hit, “Darling Je Vous Aime Beaucoupâ€, which she wrote in 1935.
In 2006, Annie received the Abe Olman Scholarship for Excellence in Songwriting from Songwriters Hall of Fame. The award is given by the Songwriters Hall Of Fame to promising songwriters. Veteran hit songwriter Hal David of SHOF held a master class on that evening for about 25 songwriters. To see Annie talk with Hal, and to hear him reminisce about one of his earliest chart-topping hits, CLICK Video under Annie's photo (top left side of this page).
Annie's environmental song, "One Planet At A Time", was released on a compilation CD in December 2006 by The Public Domain Foundation, a project of Noel Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul and Mary). From over 170 submissions, 11 songs were chosen to appear on the CD which salutes songs of social concern. As a finalist, Ms. Dinerman sang “One Planet At A Time†as part of the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival in Kerrville, Texas. You can listen to "One Planet At A Time" right now on this page, as produced by Steve Addabbo, with percussion by Rex Benincases. The song is a witty look at the cost to our planet when our tax dollars are spent in space. CLICK HERE to read about the 2006 Music To Life compilation CD.
