New Music from Eden Brent and more
Eden Brent picks up the pieces of her Jigsaw Heart with a soul-baring set of new songs
|
|
Take Eden Brent to a Nashville studio and you still hear the Mississippi Delta.
Recording in the historic RCA Studio A with producer/guitarist
extraordinaire Colin Linden, the blues-piano powerhouse stretched her
musical legs, ambling into soulful Americana territory. But by reaching
back to Mississippi, recalling memories, old friends and all she learned
from her piano mentor Boogaloo Ames, she combined an immensely
satisfying array of American music styles — blues, gospel, soul, country
and R&B — to forge her deepest, most reflective album yet.

Final Recordings of Counterculture Legends Asylum Street Spankers Unearthed
|
|
|
Look: it’s embarrassing for such an acclaimed band as this
to have to admit that they honestly don’t remember where their final
album came from. What becomes clear upon listening to these recordings
is that none of these songs has ever been recorded by the Asylum Street
Spankers before. What’s even clearer is this: the band is in their
finest form ever here, living up to their firmly cemented reputation as
an acoustic powerhouse. Who else can blend string-band virtuosity,
multi-instrumental skills, tight vocal harmonies and counterculture wit
like this?

“One
of the most ribald and irreverent roots music acts of our time…
they’ve got hearts of gold, even if they have blood of chemicals and
minds of mirth.” –The Independent Weekly
“A
roots-rock riddle, nestled in a satirical Vaudeville enigma, packaged
in an old-timey radio-show puzzle and slathered with hippie-fried
mystery sauce…” –Tampa Weekly Planet
