Popis:
Four classic Dottie West albums recorded between 1971 and 1973. Appearing on CD for the first time. ‘Careless Hands’ (1971) displayed the singer as a vocalist well-attuned to the Nashville sound. Produced by Jerry Bradley, it comprised mainly of covers of country/pop standards such as ‘Rose Garden’, ‘Help Me Make It Through The Night’, ‘Release Me (And Let Me Love Again)’, ‘Snowbird’ and ‘I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry’. Jerry Bradley continued the mix of covers and new songs for the singer’s next two albums; ‘Have You Heard’ features ‘Me And Bobby McGee’ and ‘Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream)’, while ‘I’m Only A Woman’ included the two pop standards ‘Are You Lonesome Tonight’ and the Buck Owens’ classic ‘Together Again’. ‘Country Sunshine’ brought a change of producer in Billy Davis. The title track secured international attention when featured in Coca Cola promotions, the album presented a more diverse selection of songs including The Eagles’ ‘Desperado’, Janis Ian’s ‘Jesse’ and ‘My Love’ by Paul McCartney’s Wings. Possessing one of the finest voices in country music, Dottie West enjoyed acclaim from industry peers and the public alike. In a career that could be likened to a country song, Dottie West enjoyed success but also experienced poverty and tragedy in her life. She was born 11th October 1932 and died following a motor accident on 4th September 1991 aged just 58. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2018.
"To write the songs on their second album, Annie Schermer and Channing Showalter, who record together under the name West of Roan (members of Doran), spent time in collective imagination, journeying to their respective inner worlds and under worlds. As they simultaneously discovered and created a psychic landscape of story, song, archetype, and image, a figure emerged: The Queen of Eyes.
Schermer and Showalter recorded Queen of Eyes themselves, in a small one-room, off-grid cabin on Waldron Island off the coast of Washington State. They ran their ear trumpet condenser microphone off an extension cord connected to the main source of solar power. This recording session—with one microphone, one computer, one cord, and one bench the two sat on—captures the emotional intimacy of their music, along with occasional pops from the fire that heated the cabin, instrument creaks, and breathing sounds. This feels especially fitting for West of Roan’s approach; when you hear them sing you get the sense that they are first singing for and to each other, and emboldened by each other’s presence, together they make their offering to you, the listener."
