Edito de Tell The Wind?It is all about the songwriting. Patti is one of the finest independent songwriters writing today.? ?Bruce Greenburg, The Promise Live ?If Patti Witten were our student, we would give her new record an A.? ?Performing Songwriter Top 12 DIY About Tell The Wind Produced by Rich DePaolo (Donna The Buffalo, The Burns Sisters, The Samples). Songs by Patti Witten except "Dandelion" (M. Jagger/K. Richard) and "Perfect Blue" (P. Witten/R. DePaolo). Performed by Patti Witten and Rich DePaolo, with Bill King (drums on 1,2,3,4,6, and 7), Robby Aceto (guitar on 10) and Robert Powell (pedal steel guitar on 5). This is Patti's 4th album and the follow-up to 2003?s award-winning Sycamore Tryst. Love lost or gone awry is the theme that runs throughout Tell The Wind and its symbol is the wind ? from the crows wheeling overhead on the CD?s cover art to the up-tempo, Joni Mitchell-infused "Encircled" and from the breezy, Beatlesque cover of "Dandelion" to the folk gospel of the title track. Producer Rich DePaolo?s layered arrangements feature Patti?s Colvinesque voice and acoustic guitar plus his own acoustic and electric guitar, bass, organ, trumpet, even toy piano, with economical use of drums played by Bill King and guest appearances from Robby Aceto (Tom Tom Club) on guitar and Robert Powell (Peter Gabriel, Jackson Browne) on pedal steel guitar. Patti also did the graphic design for the CD?s unique plastic-free packaging. "Obvious" (Track #3) earned the Outstanding Achievement in Songwriting Award in the 8th Annual Great American Song Contest contemporary, acoustic category. The title track (Track #6) was a finalist, earning an Honor Award. "Encircled" (Track #1) is a Song of Note in the Indie Acoustic Project's top 25 songs of 2006. Lire la suite
