Pieta Brown - Shimmer (2009)[EP]
Country Rock | MP3 320 kbps | 53 MB | 23 min.
Pieta Brown released her new CD Shimmer on November 10, 2009. The CD was produced by Don Was (Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Rolling Stones) and features seven stripped-down original tracks with Pieta on guitar/vocals, Bo Ramsey on electric guitar and Don Was on bass. Don Was calls Pieta a great singer/songwriter who possesses major star power magnetism. His vision was to record Pieta with her songs and voice, “unadorned” and full center. Recorded live and mixed as it went down, Shimmer is the enchanting result. While not completely acoustic, it does have a nice open vibe to it that lets us in on how personal, and important, the songs are to her. This limited edition EP is a bridge to her next full album project sometime next year. The recording is released on Red House Records, Pieta's first CD on the independent Grammy-winning Americana/roots label.

Pieta Brown - Shimmer



Even though she spent the first several years of her career knocking out albums for other labels, in retrospect it seems inevitable that Pieta Brown would wind up recording for Red House. Not only was her father, legendary singer/songwriter Greg Brown, the label's flagship artist and co-founder, but his house (the very one where Pieta spent her first years) is the one that gave the label its name. You'd think her first Red House outing would be a full album, but there's a backstory to this seven-song EP. Producer Don Was heard a batch of Brown's latest compositions in their rawest form and decided to make as spontaneous a recording of them as possible, staying as close to that unvarnished approach as he could. Accordingly, the whole thing was recorded and mixed live over the course of just two days. In keeping with that no-frills aesthetic, Was stays far away from the fuller-sounding productions he's done for some artists, hewing closer to his bare-bones work on the last couple of Kris Kristofferson albums, for an effect not unlike that of the first Gillian Welch release. The focus here is squarely on Brown's evocative voice and simple acoustic guitar accompaniment, with only the subtlest of additional colors provided by Was on acoustic bass and guitarist Bo Ramsey, the latter a longtime musical foil for Brown's father. Brown's songs are economical in every way -- lyrically, melodically, and structurally, and when you're working in a folk/alt-country mode, that kind of approach can only be to your advantage. While claims for her being a song-poet on the order of her father are a bit overenthusiastic, her imagery is incisive and carefully crafted, judiciously avoiding overstatement of any kind and relying on small gestures to imply grander emotions. Granted, Brown has never exactly been the over-the-top type to begin with, but the Spartan sound and sensibility displayed here augur well for the songwriter in her new home named after an old one. : ~ J.

If you don't think of great songwriters when you think of Iowa, now you will. Pieta Brown emerges as a self-styled poetess, folk goddess and country waif (BBC) with the release of her powerful Red House Records debut, Shimmer. The story of the album is a case of fortuitous serendipity. The result is a 7-song EP whose stripped down nature lets Pieta's lilting drawl deliver her lyrics with its full magnitude and depth.
One day while driving through L.A. and listening to the radio, the legendary producer Don Was heard Pieta performing live and solo in-studio. Struck by the uniqueness of her voice, her delivery, and the substance of her songs, he pulled his car over to listen and make note of this fresh new artist. Later, he mentioned her name in an interview as an artist he was intrigued with, and the rest is history.
In late March of 2009, Pieta was touring in California and connected with Don for two afternoons to show him some of her new songs. Don's vision was to record Pieta as he heard her that day on the radio, with her songs and voice, unadorned and full center. Recorded live and mixed as it went down, Shimmer is the enchanting result. Featuring 7 original songs, the CD has an intimate feel--as if Pieta was right there in the room, singing her songs just for you. From the lilting country tune Lovin' You Still to the haunting You're My Lover Now, she delivers truly poetic story songs backed by Bo Ramsey (electric guitar, harmony vocals) and Don Was (string bass). Shimmer confirms that Pieta Brown is a songwriter to be reckoned with and a talent too good to ignore. : ~ Amazon
