Would you call yourself a Georgia peach?
I don’t know if July Flames even come from Georgia but for some reason Colbert was the first person I thought of when I heard that Laura Veirs‘ new album is named after a peach.
I discovered this new release thanks to the NPR: Music Podcast. I’m a sucker for female singer/songwriters with melodic voices, so I really didn’t stand a chance. You won’t be disappointed if you give the whole LP a listen. Simply put, it’s beautiful, but Laura doesn’t rest on just her voice and lyrics. There are enough added elements to keep you interested and wanting more and most songs have a rich, full sound to them even though this is clearly a folk recording.
Laura Veirs – July Flame
Laura Veirs – Wide Eyed Legless
What I gleaned from the interview, Laura Veirs has made a name for herself across the pond but this CD is her big push to enter the US market. I also might just not have been listening very closely so feel free to correct me…but if it is true, c’mon America. It’s time we got on board.
