  • A Conversation with Brett Dennen by Frank Goodman (1/2007, Puremusic.Com)
    A Conversation with Brett Dennen by Frank Goodman (1/2007, Puremusic.com) He's like a new kind of human being to me, this Brett Dennen. After spending time with him this week, I feel that way even stronger than after the positively confounding impression that his new CD, There's So Much More, left on me. If he'd said that he was an alien, I could have swallowed that; it would even have made sense to me. Because I'm simply not accustomed to meeting and spending time with people that appear to be so incorruptible, so odd and yet so self-assured; so, uh, enlightened and inner-directed, if I might venture all that. At 27, no less. But he's every bit of that, and there's no telling what this West Coast youth might get up to next. His tunes are hitting the Television, via Grey's Anatomy and Men In Trees, and he's out on tour with John Mayer and Sheryl Crow. Come on, now--he's got one self- released record, and one out on Dualtone Records, an astute but small label in Nashville, better known for alt-Country releases. How do you get there so fast with that little infrastructure? His music is great, first of all. His tunes are so infectious and so deep at the same time; they're a perfect blend of those usually disparate qualities. His playing is damned convincing, and his singing is like no one else. It's a very high voice, but with that inner directedness that makes it Strong.

  • Weeds Like Us
    P.O. Box 2093, Santa Barbara, CA 93120 (805) 687-3963, FAX (805) 682-8305 e-mail: [email protected] (www.householdink.com) Julie Christensen Weeds like Us Great Plains Soul (by Josef Woodard) Julie Christensen belongs firmly in the ranks of artists with deep roots in the spirit of “Americana,” going back long before such a genre was thusly known. Those roots are clearer and stronger than ever on her powerful new album Weeds like Us, her sixth album overall and third for Household Ink Records. Within this cohesive collection of tracks, the singer belts out bluesbasted and soulful tunes and nestles into folk and country material with grit and wisdom. She even cleanly expresses the pop side of her musical being. Christensen does all this with a potent genuineness which bumps her latest album up a level, wielding a renewed musical mission statement. A quick gander at Christensen’s long, winding and heartfelt road in music touches on the landscapes - cultural and actual – which helped shape her "Great Plains Soul" vision. Born in Iowa City and raised in Central Iowa, she spent some years in Austin, Texas and wound up in Los Angeles in time to soak up -- and also influence -- the rich post-punk and roots-revival scene there. Her musical path included a co-leader role in the seminal, SST-signed country-punk band Divine Horseman, working on her ne'er released album for Polygram with Todd Rundgren, and a significant stint as a background singer with Leonard Cohen during his fertile late '80's-early ‘90s period.

  • Bill Frisell's Disfarmer Project
    For immediate release: February 20, 2007 Media contacts: Erik Pepple, 614 688-3261 or [email protected] BILL FRISELL’S DISFARMER PROJECT DEBUTS AT WEXNER CENTER WEXNER CENTER COMMISSION INSPIRED BY WORK OF PHOTOGRAPHER MIKE DISFARMER Guitarist Bill Frisell, along with violinist Jenny Scheinman and lap steel guitar player Greg Leisz, perform the world premiere of Musical Portraits from Heber Spring: Bill Frisell’s Disfarmer Project on Saturday March 3 at 7:30 pm and 9:30 pm at the Wexner Center. Inspired by the life, work, and subjects of eccentric photographer Mike Disfarmer, this production was commissioned by the Wexner Center. The haunting and stark photographs taken by Disfarmer in a small Bill Frisell / Photo: Jimmy Katz Arkansas town in the 1940s and 1950s are now widely admired works of outsider art. Using these as a starting point, Frisell will echo their timeless, captivating quality by balancing evocative atmospherics and traditional American musical forms to create his suite inspired by Disfarmer. Along with violinist Scheinman and lap steel guitar player Leisz, these compositions draw in part on traditional Ozark fiddle music (Disfarmer was an avid fiddler himself). During the performance, projected images of Disfarmer's portraits will further illuminate Frisell's musical perspectives on this fascinating character. The New York Times described Frisell’s music in this way: “It's hard to find a more fruitful meditation on American music than in the compositions of guitarist Bill Frisell. Mixing rock and country with jazz and blues, he's found what connects them: improvisation and a sense of play. Unlike other pastichists, who tend to duck passion, Mr.
