Bio
.. ...... .. .. ...... .. .. ...... .. .. ..Check out this video: Wouldn't it be Nice........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. ...... .. ...... .. Singer/Songwriter Rebecca Pidgeon's new album Slingshot, is due to hit stores and digital platforms in October. Produced by multiple Grammy winner Larry Klein, 'Get up Get Out,' and 'Disintegration Man' are two of the new songs already being hailed by radio programmers before the album's fall release. Known for her compelling live performances, Rebecca was out on the road this summer and fall on a unique tour in partnership with the first-of-its-kind all-women wine company, Women Of The Vine. She also performed at Farm Aid 2011 on August 13th, in Kansas City, Kansas, at Livestrong Sporting Park. In the 1990s, Rebecca released a collection of alluring albums on Chesky Records. Other noted albums are her first full-blown collaboration with Larry Klein, Tough On Crime (2005), and her highly regarded 2008 album, Behind the Velvet Curtain. A success in both film and music, Pidgeon recently drew rave reviews in the much-lauded movie Red, starring Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman. She also had a recurring role on the hit CBS television series,The Unit. As an actress, Pidgeon has garnered critical acclaim in film, TV, and theater. Rebecca co-wrote one of her new songs on Slingshot - 'Baby Please Come Home Again' - with her husband, writer/director/playwright David Mamet, and will be appearing in the as-yet-untitled biopic of legendary record producer Phil Spector, written and produced by David Mamet. .. .. .. .. -

Check out this video: Wouldn't it be Nice
On Rebecca Pidgeon’s new album, Behind The Velvet Curtain, it’s the bravery of her choices - the smarts behind her fragile, wistful vocal style - that merits the polished brass behind producer Larry Klein’s impeccable production.
There’s the intrigue of “Long Island Poem,” a song crafted from a strained dinner encounter; the Bossa Nova slink of “Dawn,” which she boldly reprises in fluent Portuguese at the end of the album, (titled “Manha),” thanks to a translation by singer Luciana Souza, who also appears with Rebecca on the Brazilian-tinged duet “When You Were Mine.” In between, the singer/actress messes with our heads and hearts, trading on the softer currents of a voice that manages to sound as confident as it is caressing, with two of the songs co-written by playwright/film director (and Rebecca’s husband) David Mamet. The noted dramatist was so moved by Rebecca’s Bossa Nova leanings he placed some of the songs in his new movie Redbelt, which explores themes of honor and respect in the world of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu set in the culture of the west Los Angeles fight world.
“I don’t know why I began writing some of the songs in the Bossa Nova style on this one,” says Rebecca. “There was a song on Tough On Crime (her previous album released in 2005 which was also produced by Larry Klein) called “Tangerine” that hinted of that. There must be something about that rhythm that is innate in me.” Klein, who won the 2008 Grammy for “Album of the Year” with Herbie Hancock seconds the notion: “One of the things I love about working with Rebecca is that the ambition isn’t driving the singing or songwriting. She has a very natural quality about what she does. The style that she was writing in, her ability to write in her own syntax and vocabulary created a spare quality that really set her vocals apart. I also think that on songs like “Behind The Velvet Curtain,” and “Been And Gone” she is really digging deeper. She writes to her strengths on this album and it shows.”
Choosing to co-write a song or two with one of the world’s most accomplished writers can also get the blood flowing. The idea of Rebecca and David Mamet writing a country song together, such as the plaintive “Baby Please Come Home,” is worthy of an essay unto itself. The duo already has one country song under their belt, “Army Brat,” which was a bonus track on her previous CD. “When two artists live together, they are undoubtedly going to influence one another,” says Rebecca. “One of the things Dave taught me about writing is to try not to go for the obvious. You don’t want to the listener to beat you to the punch line of the rhyme. I also realized with my background I can imagine myself into a character even when I’m writing.”
Raised in Edinburgh Scotland, Rebecca’s successful acting career (Heist, Spanish Prisoner, Shopgirl) has been more documented than her music, but both passions seem to serve her well. Her first record was released on the small indie label Red Flame Records while she was still attending the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London. She’s released five albums, establishing her unique musical presence in the band Ruby Blue in the mid-1980s, and crafting a solid jazz rep with New York indie Chesky Records the following decade. After releasing an impressive string of albums in the mid-90s, including the acclaimed New York Girls’ Club and Four Marys, Rebecca and Klein connected in 2002 to begin the rough sketches for Tough On Crime.
That album also put Rebecca in the realm of some exceptional studio musicians, including the late Billy Preston. She also credits Larry for the caliber of musicians who grace Behind The Velvet Curtain: Danny Frankel and Debra Dobkin (drums), Dean Parks (guitar), Greg Leisz (pedal steel guitar), David Piltch (bass), Paulino Da Costa (percussion), among others, with Larry himself playing bass on a few tracks. Rebecca also began to sculpt a crackling live show, cementing her rep at tastemaking LA nightspots like the Hotel Café and Tangier, and building a top-notch live band that includes Danny Frankel, Debra Dobkin and guitarist Willie Aaron, who also appears on Behind The Velvet Curtain.
“Playing the songs live has definitely taught me a lot too,” says Rebecca. “When Larry and I first met to talk about this record, I had a very strong idea this time of how I wanted it to sound. We both wanted it to be very simple.”
“Behind The Velvet Curtain is very much the case where less is more,” offers Klein. “What Rebecca brings to it just carries you from song to song, which is exactly what a good album is supposed to do.”
