Search - Allie Peden :: With This Love

"Allie Peden's sacred/profane voice could only be American--as redolent of church choir practice in lemon-oil-polished pews as scratched blues 45s or stolen kisses in belly-high prairie grasses. Peden massages vowels like skin pressed to skin, fingers clenched fervently in prayer, or the slow crawl of a lover's exploratory hand. She has an old voice, but the Nashville-based musician is still in her teens." -- Shake Your Fist "Allie Peden is an amazing artist in her own right ... beautifully tragic." -- Listen!Nashville Recorded when she was still a teen, the nine tracks of melodious, pianodriven pop that compose Allie Peden's debut highlight the piano skills and vocal poise of a young artist creating the craft of a writer with twice her life experience. With This Love was recorded at Sputnik Studios in Nashville with the assistance of producer Mike Odmark. What began as a girl and a piano several years ago has matured into a full-fledged sound colored with innovative horn parts, jazzy guitar tracks, and masterful piano arrangements. She is now a band--making noise and being heard.
