August 19, 2022 by Mark Lint Leave a Comment

Chastity has since 2007 released seven albums from Minneapolis that she calls “new blues,” but which spread into pop, Americana, soul, and Irish-flavored spirituals.

We discuss “Wonderment” and listen at the end to “Back Seat” from Sing to the Walls (2022), “Drive Slow” from Silhouette of Sirens (2017), “Many Prayers” from Do the Best You Can (2007). Intro: “Colorado” (a 2014 single included on 2017’s Silhouette of Sirens). More at chastitybrownmusic.com.

NEM#177: Susan Cattaneo Leaves Nashville and Finds Herself

August 5, 2022 by Mark Lint Leave a Comment

Susan teaches songwriting at Berklee and has released six albums since 2009. She wanted to be a Nashville songwriter, decided to then sing country songs herself, but that felt phony, so she remade her whole style.

We discuss “Broken Things” (and listen at the end to “Time + Love + Gravity”) from All Is Quiet (2022), “Revival” from Haunted Heart (2014), “Shave” from Heaven to Heartache (2011). Intro: “Work Hard Love Harder” from The Hammer & the Heart (2017). More at susancattaneo.com.

NEM#89: Dusty Wright’s Metaphysical Americana

January 5, 2019 by Mark Lint 1 Comment

After starting in the ’80s with the Trolls and the Bastards of Execution, Dusty has released six albums as a solo artist since 1997.

We discuss a new, unreleased song “Pardon My Love,” then “Man in the Mirror” from Gliding Toward Oblivion (2018) and “High Flyin’ Bird” by GIANTfingers from around 2003. We conclude by listening to “(Art at) the Speed of Life” by the Dusty Diamonds from 1994. Intro/outro: “Karma” from dust! (2000).
