"I've found my Townes Van Zandt!" - Connie Ambrosch, VP Copyright & International, Leiber & Stoller Music Publishing "Great songwriting - sharp and original." Dan Penn, legendary Southern Soul songwriter and producer, Nashville, Tennessee "Anne Louise manages to capture your ear and forces you to listen to her music over and over again. Super debut. Airplay rating 9 out of 10!" Ted Clark, Grensland International Radio, The Netherlands "it blew my socks so far off I still can't find em! Great CD!" Darryl Few, Birch Radio Rochdale, UK " 'My
heart is lifted
up by one kind
word', Anne
Louise Genest
claims early
on into this
pleasant folk
record, and
I'd be more
than happy
to give it.
Buoyed up on
a stable seabed
of fiddles
and finger-plucking,
Genest's lyrics
are what really
grab you, describing
life in the
north from
a disappointed
yet hopeful
insider's perspective,
as opposed
to going on
about things
outsiders always
notice and
drown in metaphor
once they're
back in the
studio. The
South Side
of town is
a gripping,
realistic song
about a missing
woman, for
example, while
In Canada the
Winters Are
Long is deeper
than the title
suggests. Genest
is a very honest,
unabashed songwriter,
utterly free
from flaky
poetry. Seek
her out." Fish
Griwkosky,
Penguin Eggs,
Issue no. 22,
Summer 2004
"There
are enough
heartbreakers
here to make
you spill a
tear in your
beer. In Genest's
world, "Cadillac" rhymes
with "Kerouac" in
an ode to a
man who just
can't stick
around, "You
Like Leaving".
With her pleasant
alto, honest
heartfelt songs
like "Lavina
Brown" -
a tribute to
a small town
free spirit
- and "Im
the One" show
a diversity
of style and
a profound
understanding
of the genre." Cindy Filipenko,
Herizons Magazine,
Fall Issue
2004
"Legendary
Nahville songwriter
Dan Penn calls
Genest "sharp
and original" and
you'll get
no argument
here." "Her music is strangely comforting...truthful, witty, and rhythmic, so much that me feet is always tapping no matter what i seem to be doing. She's my new Lucinda Williams." Paul Gowdie, fan "She's better than Lucinda Williams." Hannah Wade, age 11, fan |
