LATEST CD: HAMMER & TONGS
 |
|
77 EL DEORA jangles some familiar nerves and scuffs up some new ground on their new studio recording, HAMMER & TONGS. Jenn Courtney, Maurice Tani, along with a dozen other musicians lay out the second installment of their unapologetically literate vision of country.
10 new songs from Tani, written specifically for Courtney's rich vocals and vivid persona. Dark, hyper-romantic ballads and bright, shiny, trailer-park operettas. Plus a pair of retooled masterworks, including an assertive redo of Leonard Cohen’s brooding Everybody Knows
Features performances from Jenn Courtney on vocal, Maurice Tani on guitar and vocals, Keith Bahjat on bass, Christopher Fisher on drums, Steve Kallai on fiddle, with extra support from Katie Guthorn and Kathy Kennedy (Elvin Bishop, Bonnie Raitt) on backing vocals, David Phillips (Tom Waits, Johnny Paycheck, Charlie Hunter) on steel guitars, Jim Pugh (Robert Cray, Chris Isaak) on piano, Trey Sabatelli (Tubes, Todd Rundgren) on drums, Steve Stanley and Armen Boyd on trumpet and baritone sax, Belle Monroe & her Brewglass Boys (Pam Brandon, Jordan Klein and Diana Greenberg) on vocals, banjo and fiddle, Catherine Foreman (Starlene), and Katy Rexford (Burning Embers) on fiddle.

On this debut release, Jenn Courtney displays her full repertoire of emotional punches. Alone or sparring in duets with songwriter Maurice Tani, she's alternately strong, vulnerable, sexy and funny. Her full and sensual vocals break hearts she'll never meet, and will be forever associated with the words 'restraining order'.
SIRENS, features 13 original tracks from Tani, tailored specifically for Courtney's vivid persona,and comes with a 12 page booklet with lyrics and photos. Features appearances from friends Dave Gleason (Dave Gleason's Wasted Days) on his B-bender Telecaster, Katie Guthorn & Kathy Kennedy (Elvin Bishop, Bonnie Raitt) on backing vocals, David Phillips (Tom Waits, Johnny Paycheck, Charlie Hunter) on steel guitars, Jim Pugh (Robert Cray, Chris Isaak) on piano and organ, Trey Sabatelli (Tubes, Todd Rundgren) on drums |

Calamity & Main was the precursor to 77 El Deora, and was based around the songs of Maurice Tani and "Misisipi" Mike Wolf with "Goat Piss Willie" Hendricks on bass and vocals and Christopher Fisher on drums. The 4 piece band featured bright 3 part harmony and a bashy, guitar-driven, testosterone fueled, Bakersfield style. These are the roots of 77 El Deora and if you have seen the band live you will recognize many of these songs still living in the repertoire
HONKY TONK HEAVEN, features 12 original songs from Tani and Wolf, plus a raucous version of the classic There Stands the Glass and the unexpected take on the Monkees gem, "What Am I Doin' Hangin' Round?". Features appearances from friends Scott Hay and David Phillips on steel guitars, Jim Pugh on piano and organ, and Scott Young (Red Meat) on fiddle. |
