Brenda Jean - Joe Pye Weed - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Country
- Description: A dear friend calls her the female Gomer Pyle because she's such a goober until she opens her mouth to sing. With a Patsy Cline ache and pitch perfect notes she easily wraps her voice around everything from old school country swing to classic jazz to contemporary folk. Brenda Jean's sung for a thousand people in concert halls and for a few dozen on the streets of New Orleans. She tours in a 1982 Mercedes station wagon that runs on French fry grease. And she's got a new album out, 'Joe Pye Weed,' co-produced with Davy Sturtevant and featuring a full house of top notch Austin musicians. Growing up, Brenda Jean was lucky to hear Grand Ol' Opry songs sung live by her mother as she worked around the house. She also immersed herself in her parent's LP collection. Singers like gospel's Mahalia Jackson, country's Ernest Tubb and Irish tenor Denis Day made for an eclectic influence that you can hear in her music today. Later on, she discovered newgrass and folk artists like Laurie Lewis and Cheryl Wheeler; in fact, some of their songs appear on 'Joe Pye Weed.' (Her first , 2008's 'next one by' is a sparser acoustic offering, recorded with guitarist/songwriter Davy Sturtevant.) 'Joe Pye Weed,' named after a stunning late-blooming wildflower, is an eclectic adventure in country, folk, blues, gospel and swing. It includes four originals and covers from stellar songwriters such as Lewis and Wheeler. Musicians include Eddie Cantu (Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis) on drums, Glenn Fukunaga (Dixie Chicks, Alejandro Escovedo) on bass, Chris Gage (Albert & Gage, Roy Clark) on guitar and keyboards, Lloyd Maines (Wilco, Dixie Chicks) on pedal steel, John Mills (Lyle Lovett, Bonnie Raitt) on clarinet, and more on guitars, banjo, fiddle, and horns. InchI'm Better Off Without You,Inch written by Brenda Jean and Davy Sturtevant, is a cry-in-your-beer song with a twist. The lout who dumped her ge

Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album.

It was released by Epic Records on November 30, 1982, as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off The Wall. Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Bad is the seventh solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller. Bad was recorded during the first half of 1987.
