Search - Megan Reilly :: Arc of Tessa

One of HARP's TOP NINE EMERGING SONGWRITERS: "There's nothing astonishing in her background to suggest she would be destined for the greatness of her debut album, 'Arc of Tessa'...Incredible musical potential." New York by way of Memphis singer/songwriter who has managed to corral a fantastic backing band incl. Tim Foljahn (guitar, lap steel, mandolin-TWO DOLLAR GUITAR, CAT POWER), Steve Goulding (drums-MEKONS, GRAHAM PARKER, WACO BROS, ARCHER PREWITT), Tony Maimone (bass-PERE UBU, GARY LUCAS) & Eric Morrison (piano, rhodes-HOME, LEELS) & help on the album from CHRIS LEE (Smells Like). Picture postcards of physical or emotional time underpinned by roots tinged music executed w/soulful & subtle perfection by masters. Megan's voice radiates languid southern indolence but can also bite just as quickly & strongly. As close to perfect as any record CTR has released. Hints of Opal, Patsy Cline, Cowboy Junkies, Lucinda Williams, Mazzy Star
