Glorious Noise features Dominique Pruitt’s new video for “High in the Valley”

If you don’t think Los Angeles can produce good country music then you haven’t really been paying attention to your music history lessons. “High In The Valley” features everything you could ask for from the place that put the “Western” in Country and Western: steel guitar, reverb, spooky backing vocals, and that woodblock sound from all the cowboy soundtracks. Plus, it’s got sacrilegious lyrics that reference marijuana consumption. Check, check, check.

Add to that a singer who dresses like a fifties pinup cow gal and you’ve got a recipe for mass appeal. Or at least appeal to the gang of dorks (like me) who enjoy these contrived signifiers….READ MORE

Patrick Damphier’s ‘Money In The Meter’ premieres at Glide Magazine

Patrick Damphier’s ‘Money in the meter’ premieres at Glide Magazine

Say I’m Pretty—the gorgeous new album from Nashville-based musical polymath Patrick Damphier—is a collection of sun-kissed guitar pop that effortlessly glides across its 45-minute run time. But while each track seems deceptively simple, repeat listens reveal compelling nuance and depth. With the record’s layered production, a cascade of slowly evolving aural surprises lurks just beneath the hooks, while the lyrics explore characters caught in transition—keeping secrets, choosing sides, crossing bridges, vacillating between what’s real and what’s not, deciding whether to stay or go, fight or flee, be bought or sold, and also wondering if anyone notices them at all. Each spin brings a new discovery. READ MORE…

The 405 reviews Chase McBride’s Lemonade’

Following up February’s Green Shade, he’s grown inexorably closer to that elusive sweet spot with Pink Lemonade. READ MORE…

BuzzBands.LA features Dominique Pruitt’s new song “High in the Valley”

The daughter of musical parents — her father Larry Brown played in The Association, Smothers Brothers and Engelbert Humperdinck, when he met her mother, singer Anne-Marie Brown — Dominique Pruitt loves a good old-timey song, and she’s put her predilection for music of the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s into “High In The Valley,” her first new single in five years. “I had written down that song title a few years ago,” she says of the song. “It was such a part of me at one point to feel like I was trapped in this hopelessness of being so close to what you want in a way but so far away.” Perhaps that has something to do with her musical trajectory getting interrupted.

In 2009, Pruitt recorded three demos of her father’s old songs, which in 2011 got her attention from Merovee Records. Her Dave Darling-produced EP, “To Win Your Love” was released in 2013 and though she completed a full-length, she decided to shelve it and the label ultimately folded. From there she did some wandering and creative soul searching, mining her love for Wanda Jackson, the movies “Cry Baby” and “Gypsy,” with burlesque, vintage show girls and Americana, which completes her vision that encompasses both the auditory and visual experience. “That’s something important. I want to put on a show with a spectacle,” she says.

“High In The Valley” was written in collaboration with Jasmine Ash, Joseph Holiday and Kenny Fleetwood. With a little growl in her voice, it opens on the evocative line, “Closest that I’ve ever been to God is a Bible on a nightstand at an old roadside motel” and follows with musings on being broke, “getting high,” being close but yet so far from the glitz of Hollywood stardom, and feeling sad and lost, but the combination of all these elements stirred together makes for a rather glamorous cocktail….READ MORE
