Deborah Crooks
I’m reaching out about Bay are based singer-songwriter Deborah Crooks new CD “Beauty Everywhere”(Release date: Oct. 18th 2016). Following Deborah Crooks’ March 2016 release Go Out And Make Some, with Bay Station, her duo project with Kwame Copeland, Crooks went right back to work laying down the finishing touches on her solo CD. While keeping musically in step with the Americana-esque approach with Bay Station, the songwriting on Beauty Everywhere leans more towards the personal, with songs covering the middle of a relationship (“Jumped in Anyway”), the end of a love relationship (“Record of a Day”), and moving into a new home (“Make this House”). Topics also explored are the impact of these uncertain times upon others, on (“Shattered”), about the lengths someone will go to put the pieces back together after their world falls apart, as well as the familial consequences faced by veterans of war (“Overseas and Faraway”). Beauty Everywhere was produced and arranged by Art Khu (Jacqui Naylor, Art Khu Quartet) and recorded at John Vanderslice’s newly opened Tiny Telephone Oakland (an off-shoot of Vanderslice’s renowned analog based Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco).
We would love you to consider reviewing Deborah’s new album.
