   About Leslie Mendelson
"The album's called SWAN FEATHERS because that's how Jac Holzman described my songs," says Leslie Mendelson of her debut Rykodisc release. "Jac signed The Doors, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Judy Collins. So who am I to argue?" "Unless I've lost my bearings this is one of the tastiest pop albums of recent memory," says Holzman, founder of the iconic Elektra and Nonesuch record labels. "And I say 'pop' in the Carole King sense. Great melodies with wondrous curves that take you places. No album of this genre has touched me so deeply. Most important, the songs stick to you like swan feathers caught on rubber cement." SWAN FEATHERS marks the young artist as both an effortlessly charismatic performer and a songwriter of uncommon musical and emotional depth. In addition to being a singularly expressive singer, Mendelson is a sensitive tunesmith with an uncanny knack for infusing even her darkest lyrical insights with a sexy playfulness. Mendelson's vivid, subtly crafted tunes—which range from the effervescent exuberance of "Hit the Spot" and "I See Myself with You" to the bittersweet introspection of "No Easy Way Out" and "If I Don't Stop Loving You"—are supported by organically soulful performances and spare, understated instrumental arrangements. The result is a timelessly resonant and emotionally honest album which often recalls the classic work of such vintage role models as Carole King and Laura Nyro.

Hey Friend!!!  Thank You for the friendship add!!!  Much appreciated.  'Family Business' is a band site of me and my sons and the music we write, play, and record.  We really have a blast doing it.  I also have a couple of friends that are involved too.  Imagine sitting around a campfire out at the lake, watching the moon rise and picking a few tunes.  Maybe you can see what I mean about how much fun it is.  Check us out.  Thanks again, Steve
