Lee Lindsey has written songs
since childhood. Like most artists, her music tells
the story of her life. However, unlike most people
who grow up, Lee never abandoned her childhood
vision.
Above The Madding Crowd
features varying degrees of folk, country and roots
rock with soulful, Celtic string arrangements. The
title track, which references the famous Hardy
novel, takes the audience on a journey, telling the
universal tale of a small-town girl with big dreams
and a determined, passionate will.
It was that
drive that led her to start the London, UK division
of Tall Poppy Records, an urban roots and
folk rock label, with producer/engineer Jack
Guy (INXS, All Saints, Sugababes). In the same
year, she also began a weekly series of showcases to
benefit the London independent music community
called "Tall Poppy Presents... Lee Lindsey and
Friends" that still runs in London and now
Canada. Some of the acts Lee has showcased are KT
Tunstall, Mary Lee's Corvette, Teddy Richards and
Sumladfromcov, plus many more.
From the opening Celtic flute of
"Brave," to the up-tempo strings of "Wild Child" and
on to the gritty electric cry of the title track and
deference to the famous Hardy novel, Above The
Madding Crowd tells the universal tale of a
small-town girl with big dreams and a permanent
will. Soulful, Celtic string arrangements provide
the right amount intimacy and emotion to tell the
story just right.
It is indeed Lee's story that's
being told in many ways on this record. Her life
begins on the Ottawa River in Canada. She's
traveled, modeled and performed around the world
since leaving home at fifteen with a guitar on her
back. At the time it was to escape a contentious
relationship with her father and, like many before
her, Lee didn't look back - until now Two kids and a
failed marriage later, Above The Madding
Crowd explores this diverse, emotional terrain.
It searches for and discovers Lee's self-worth, her
talents and her voice as a woman and an artist.
Hey there Lee! I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate Like A River. I have it on my iPod, and it makes me cry every time I listen to it (which is a good thing!). It's one of the most beautiful, gut-wrenching songs I have heard in a long time. So thanks =)
I have been enjoying your CD "Above the Madding Crowd". Hope I will get to see you again so you can autograph it for me. Going to see Sam in a couple of week here at home!
Hi Lee'm better now, sorry but actually I do alone without having to talk to. I saw a show and Sam found their perfect,keep saying that you are lovely girl and my eyes.kiss
Lee, thanks for the friendship. I appreciate it. Enjoyed the four songs you have up. Very well done, particularly liked Journey. Song has a really nice feel to it. I loved the lyrics in the chorus (as well as throughout). Wonderful arrangement and mix. Wild Child, thought it was going to be sometyhing different until thenwonderful structure change :21 into it. Great chord structure and vocals. Thanks again. Hope all is good. Be well.
hello! thanks for accepting my request. I got to see you with Sam in Vancouver in May, to bad I didn't make it to CA. Izabel raves about you :) Will keep an eye on the music here. Best wishes for a great summer :) Alina
