Catherine Britt - Catherine Britt & The Cold Cold Hearts (CD ALBUM)

Catherine Britt - Catherine Britt & The Cold Cold Hearts (CD ALBUM) Catherine Britt, a songwriter who has already packed a respected and highly acclaimed career into her first two decades as a recording artist begins a new chapter with the forthcoming release of her seventh studio album, Catherine Britt & The Cold ColdHearts. Catherine Britt & The Cold ColdHearts conjures up vibrant Australian imagery, from the bush to the coal mines via the white lines of the coastal and desert open roads; the beauty and scale of the landscape juxtaposed with songs of personal challenge and the power of love and family. The album was recorded in Catherine's own studio, built in her backyard and dubbed the Beverley Hillbilly Studios. With engineerJeff McCormack behind the desk, Catherine and The Cold ColdHearts (Michael Muchow& Andy Toombs) self-produced the album with Bill Chambers guesting on all the tracks. "I came up with this idea three years ago on our honeymoon while we were traveling in our camper in WA. I didn't know what todonext after Boneshaker but I knew I didn't want to do the overseas thing again and that I wanted to do something more organic and at home. I thought of building the studio and doing it ourselves. I've always wanted to do one of those 'artist and a band' projects like Ryan Adams & The Cardinals and Emmylou Harris & The Hot Band. It's still the artist but they have this band of mates behind them. When I was writing the album I was going back to when I was a kid and rediscovering that music that I grew up on. I thought about who would get that and pull it off and these guys were perfect. When you're making a record and going out on the road it's really important that there's a good vibe and you're all on the same page."
