Hi there! My new album Slowpokes is now out and about!

The new album features the talents of many folks, including Rod Hohl (Mary Lee's Corvette, Yarn), Andy Hess (Gov't Mule, The Black Crowes), Steve Goulding (Garland Jeffreys, The Mekons), Rob Clores (Colin Hay), Rob Jost (Imogen Heap), Boo Reiners (Demolition String Band, Klezmatics), and Scott Anthony (Lloyd Cole). Robert Scheffler is an amazing NYC singer-songwriter who helped me push some of my unfinished ideas into real songs, and helped me write (and sing) a beautiful duet. Slowpokes was produced by Scott Anthony, Rod Hohl, and me, and was mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Gene Paul (son of Les Paul).

Slowpokes is my usual casserole of styles...kind of Americana, kind of rock, kind of folk. I grew up in LA and soaked up the whole California rock thing, pretty much memorizing every Linda Ronstadt song. Right before I moved east, there was the whole Bangles/Plimsouls thing; I wrote a poem for the school paper about how Peter Case sweat on me from the stage. In college in NYC I sang with an a capella trio...everything from settings of Edna St. Vincent Millay poems, to raucous gospel tunes. Somehow everything came to a head in the late 90s, when I was listening to a lot of Jane Siberry and Liz Phair, and indulging my country music fanaticism, with Nanci Griffith on one end of the spectrum and Trisha Yearwood on the other. That's when I started to write and play. Land of My Baby (2005) was my first CD. And now Slowpokes is here, and I'm very excited about it! Thanks for listening.

Rebecca, thanks so much for listening and for your lovely compliment. So great to be back in touch after all this time! I love your country-folky vibe. Your voice is and always was so pure and penetrating. I'm glad people get to hear it on a regular basis when you "wear it out of the store" :-).

Rebecca, great to see you again at the song swap, and great to HEAR you this time! I really enjoyed your songs, and I'm so glad I got the CD. I must have listened the The Song With The Descending Tune about five times straight at one point. I also really like Insane Moon and Land Of My Baby.
I hope another disc is coming before too long! Hope to see you at the Mission in May.

Thanks for the add, Rebecca. 'Be A Man' is a superb bit of work but all of your songs here are pretty great. Really like your sound, your lyrics and your voice.
Have a great weekend - say hello to Joisey for us, will ya?

Thanks, Rebecca.

You know it's the Blue Jay's 25 anniversary in 2008 -- maybe we'll get it together to geezer up some stage.

Tunes sound lovely.

Cheers,

Hi Rebecca!! Isn't it discouraging that the 13-year-olds are so much better at this MySpace stuff than we are? Say hi to Sue (and tell her to check her MySpace page).

Inspired two-thrids of a show! Heh. I'm sure the first third was inspired as well; I only wish I had shown up in time. It's sweet that you still come across the river to let us know how it's done. Aiight.
