If you've been following me for a while, you'll know I have several artists that I will always stick with, and will get buy everything they put out. Catie Curtis is one of those people, and she's just released a free MP3 from her upcoming album Stretch Limousine on Fire (8/30) to celebrate marriage equality in NY. Get it here. Album Details:
When the singer/songwriter movement boomed in the mid-90s, Catie Curtis was at its forefront. Now a veteran artist with a 15 year career, Curtis has recorded ten critically acclaimed solo albums and has had songs featured in numerous TV shows including Dawson’s Creek, Felicity,Grey’s Anatomy and Alias, as well as in films such as 500 Miles to Graceland and A Slipping Down Life.
Curtis’ new CD, STRETCH LIMOUSINE ON FIRE, is a bold statement of beauty yet simultaneously grittier—a bit more raw—than her past work. Produced by Lorne Entress (Lori McKenna, Ronnie Earl, Mark Erelli, Mighty Sam McLain) and recorded and mixed primarily in Los Angeles by noted engineer Ryan Freeland (Ray LaMontangue, Ingrid Michaelson, The Weepies), the album features guest vocalists Lisa Loeb and Mary Chapin Carpenter along with musicians Jay Bellerose (Drums), Jennifer Condos and Jesse Williams (Bass), Thomas Juliano (electric guitar),Duke Levine (Lap Steel and guitar), David Limina (Organ) and Glenn Patscha and Julie Wolf(keyboards). Standout tracks include the title cut, “Shadowbird”, “Highway del Sol” and “River Wide”. Matthew Curry, a Grammy nominated artist/designer best known for his work with Thievery Corporation, illustrated the cover and designed the CD artwork.
I have to say I barely recognize her in this picture (and don't really like it), but maybe she's trying a little reinvention or something. Whatever, we go too far back for me to care.
