Sounds Like“In her huge playing and singing you can hear the ghosts of Mississippi in duet with the future of the blues.”
-Chip Eagle, Blues Revue

“Brent’s forte is a combustible combination of boogie-woogie piano stylings and an effectively raspy vocal delivery.”
-The Edmonton Journal, Alberta, Canada

“When Little Boogaloo talks, she sounds like a milk-cow walking on gravel, but when she sings, she sounds like an angel on Viagra!”
-Die Burger, South Africa

"Yellow Dog Records signs 2006 International Blues Challenge winner Eden Brent, a masterful blues and boogie pianist and vocal stylist.

Dubbed 'Little Boogaloo' by her mentor and duo partner, the late Boogaloo Ames (1918-2002), this Mississippi Delta native holds a bachelor's degree in music but credits Ames's down-home tutelage with teaching her how to 'really play.'

Described by one critic as 'Bessie Smith meets Diana Krall meets Janis Joplin,' others have compared her to Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughn, Marica Ball and Norah Jones (our favorite line, though, involved something about 'an angel on Viagra.') Never mind the comparisons. Eden's fresh voice is one-of-a-kind, and her distinctive style, fusing elements of blues, jazz, soul, gospel and pop, is turning the heads of roots music lovers nationwide." - Yellow Dog Records


"There is no question that she is “Little Boogaloo,” as she is often called: a supremely talented pianist and interpreter of classics by everyone from W.C. Handy to the Gershwins. But Mississippi Number One offers joyous proof that Eden Brent is also a gifted songwriter, a great vocal stylist, and a knock-out entertainer." - Julia Reed


"Mississippi Number One began as a solo record in April 2006 and is a tribute to my home and its blues highway, Mississippi State Highway 1, which is less traveled but follows the original blues highway, the Mississippi River, much more devotedly than its parallel neighbor, US Highway 61." - Eden Brent


With introductory liner notes by Julia Reed, famed Southern author and contributor to Vogue and Newsweek, the new album Mississippi Number One features Eden's own Memphis-style "He'll Do the Same Thing To You," urban soul “Afraid to Let Go,” gospel endeavor “Until I Die” and the blues classic "Trouble in Mind." Her first album, Something Cool, was released in 2003.
