Eddie Owen Presents: Mandy Barnett – a Music interest event taking place on 2018-09-28 20:00:00 in United States
Mandy Barnett, one of Nashville’s enduring musical treasures who has showcased her mesmerizing voice on stages across the globe, debuts her new album Strange Conversation on September 21, 2018. Rolling Stone Country broke the news about the project, citing that the Muscle Shoals-recorded album, co-produced by Marco Giovino (Robert Plant’s Band of Joy) and Doug Lancio (Patty Griffin, Todd Snider, John Hiatt), “bursts forth with a dynamic array of tunes from the worlds of pop, R&B and folk, with selections by a range of writers from Neil Sedaka (who pitched his own sorrowful 'My World Keeps Slipping Away,' previously recorded by Connie Francis) to Tom Waits, whose 'Puttin’ on the Dog' Barnett unleashes with spring-loaded abandon amid a flurry of fuzzed-out guitars.”
Strange Conversation opens new creative avenues for Barnett’s gifts, broadening her musical repertoire in gratifying ways. “We went to Muscle Shoals to make the record and that environment, and all the music that happened there, just seeped in. I was working with all new players, and we were going deeper into some things I’ve always touched on, but never really explored—like R&B and roots music. I leaned away from what people expect from me — and into modes that made me reach and stretch. I’m thrilled to be introducing the songs from Strange Conversation as I tour the country beginning in September.” The tour will feature Barnett’s new material, as well as spotlight songs from her prior critically acclaimed albums and shows.
Barnett has appeared on The Tonight Show, The Late Show with David Letterman, CBS Sunday Morning, PBS’s Sessions at West 54th, and numerous other television programs, and her music has been featured on a host of movie and television series soundtracks (most recently, on The CW Network’s television series The Flash). She’s worked with music industry icons, including producer Owen Bradley and Sire Records founder Seymour Stein. The Chicago Tribune calls Barnett “a torch singer in the grandest sense of the word,” while the Los Angeles Times lauds her “pipes of steel. People magazine praises Barnett’s “natural musicality,” and the New York Times her “vocal finesse.”
