Description
Dori Freeman’s self titled debut was produced by Teddy Thompson, it’s crammed full of achingly beautiful originals and demonstrates a surprising maturity. Freeman’s voice has immense range and subtlety and I can almost imagine her singing Ulysses by James Joyce backwards and it would still sound enchanting!
Plenty of musical variety here – straight-up country, unaccompanied gorgeous gospel, Western swing, neo-folk, doo-wop and soul The album was recorded over only three days in New York City and enlisted artists like Jon Graboff (The Cardinals) on guitar and steel guitar, Jeff Hill on bass, renowned pop/jazz pianist Erik Deutsch (Norah Jones, Rosanne Cash), drummer Rob Walbourne, and violin phenom Alex Hargreaves (Sarah Jarosz, David Grisman).
Dori Freeman’s arrival is a blessing for us all.
