WOODLAND HILLS, CA, May 20, 2010 /Performing Arts PR News/ -- Danielle Egnew Takes Listeners to the Country by way of Folk and Americana Music
TEXT:
With a voice capable of doing everything from filling a Broadway theater to whispering seductively in your ear, there are few styles of music that are unfamiliar to Danielle Egnew (www.danielleegnew.com) but she is concentrating on folk, country and Americana in her 17th album, "Red Lodge" (ASIN: B001OFM0R6) available on Maurice the Fish Records.
"All of the songs are stories," Egnew states, "and each one takes you on an emotional journey into the country of the heart." Reviewers and listeners agree and have made favorable comparisons to such artists as Mary Chapin Carpenter, Martina McBride, R.E.M., the Indigo Girls, and Jim Croce. She also has been called "The Most Likely to Turn You into an Obsessed Fan" by Curve Magazine.
Writing, singing, and playing every instrument on "Red Lodge," Egnew went for an ethereal blend of sounds from her guitar, bass, mandolin, violin, piano, Tibetan bowls, flute, tribal drums, and percussion (castinets, chimes, tambourine, hand percussion on her lap, claves, guiro, fingersnaps, and even a cardboard box).
Although that sounds like a lot of instruments, there is an organic sit-around-the-campfire feel to the songs, even with the glistening sheen of the production. "I came from a very large pop and alt rock production background," Egnew says, "so I wanted to do a more 'stripped down' sounding album, something much more personal and intimate. Well, that was the thought, but with some of the songs having up to 32 tracks, I still ended up getting pretty involved now and again!"
The title of the album came from the name of her favorite mountain town in Montana, her home state. "It's a small and intimate town," Egnew points out, "and I thought reflected the personal nature of the album's lyrics."
Personal. Heartfelt. Country. Folk. Music. Chronicle. Every one of those words describes the hair-raising feeling of listening to Danielle Egnew on "Red Lodge."
