Singer/songwriter Brigitte DeMeyer and acclaimed
instrumentalist Will Kimbrough have been friends and musical collaborators for
several years, working together on and off on various projects and with other
notables. DeMeyer got her start in Mojo Nixon’s band prior to venturing on her
solo career, and Kimbrough’s resume includes Will & The Bushmen, The Bis-quits
and solo efforts as well as production (Todd Snider, Josh Rouse). His songs have been covered by the likes of
Todd Snider, Jimmy Buffett and Little Feat.
Through all of their experience, they have developed the
necessary synergy it takes to combine their talents and create Mockingbird
Soul, an album that represents a singular vision and their first effort in
tandem.
In hearing the way they blend their voices, it’s a little remarkable that they haven’t embarked on a
joint venture before now. The album blends elements of blues, soul and Americana,
with nods to the sounds of the Louisiana bayou and the grittier southern
surroundings that originally birthed the blues.

Not my kind of music, but they do blend really well.
ReplyDeleteEnvious you've seen Haken - twice. They come anywhere near me, I'm going. What a treasure of a musical find.
