About This Item
Mattie Schell is at the forefront of the newest crop of young artists redefining Americana music. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, she deftly blends the heartfelt honesty of American roots with the raw power of soul, creating a sound that has roots in tradition but is proudly and uniquely her own. Her debut solo Everything Means Nothing was produced by JD Simo at his studio and mixed at Nashville's historic Compass Sound Studio (aka InchHillbilly CentralInch). Schell gives fans a sneak peak of the new record with the Delta soul-infused single InchCoast to CoastInch about the challenges of life on the road and alienation that comes from being away from your loved ones. Other stand out tracks include the sultry but grooving InchRivertown Trip,Inch about a visit to the historic Mississippi River town Alton, IL with Mattie in full voice augmented by bluesy telecaster and swampy B3 from Mark T. Jordan (Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison), InchCome Back to MeInch which tells the story of antebellum mansion in Alton that served as a stop on the Underground Railroad and the album's title track InchEverything Means NothingInch which is a stirring anthem to the power of true love.
