Музыка и песни Andrews, Courtney Marie / Andrews, Courtney Marie на CD

Loose Music re-issue On My Page, Courtney Marie Andrews’ 2013 album, the predecessor to the highly successful Honest Life. For a decade or so since Courtney’s been a session and backup singer and guitarist for nearly 40 artists – from Jimmy Eat World to Damien Jurado - but she never stopped writing her own material. With plans to settle down for a bit and focus on her own songs, Courtney moved to Seattle in 2011 and recorded her last full-length record On My Page. However, the record had hardly been released before she was on the road again performing other artists’ songs, eventually leading her overseas to play guitar and sing with Belgian star Milow. It was during this time that Courtney also wrote many of the songs on Honest Life. Record Label: Loose Music Style: Singer / Songwriter

This is the fifth CD collaboration between Rough Trade Shops and End of The Road Festival and, as always, the tracks are selected by Simon Taffe from artist’s playing at this year’s event. It’s always a labour of love to pull this compilation together. It’s always tricky too ... what to cut versus what to include, what makes the mix flow versus the stand-out single. That’s all to do with the lost art of making a mixtape though I suppose, a compilation that takes the listener on a musical journey. The journey this year takes you from the languid guitars of Nap Eyes right through to the pulsating synths of Gulp’s “Morning Velvet Sky” (available exclusively on this CD) via the French afro-funk of Vaudou Game and the stunning voice of Aldous Harding. - Simon Taffe EOTR Record Label: Rough Trade Shops Style: Independent
