Bio / Background
"With her vintage take on Americana, Abby Lappen hit the Folk fest circuit and released the magical CD, Outside the Box. Lappen doesn't limit herself stylistically, jumping through the worlds of Jazz, Blues, Gospel and great American standards on the disc. But it's Lappen's sweet, soulful vocals that are the main draw." City Beat Cincinati's News and Entertainment Weekly 9/23
"Dig it: That "Little Boxes" song currently serving as the theme to the TV show Weeds (Lappen does her own great version), Over the Rhine, Victoria Williams" (MB)
Joining Abby on this album are Michael Carr, mandolin and lead guitar, Jay Gerald,lead guitar and drums, Jonathan Talbot and Tanya Huang, violin, Carly McKenney, Harmonica and Seth Travins, bass.
The cover song is an adaptation of "Little Boxes" by Malvina Reynolds. The changes occur in both the lyrics and style of the recording. Abby does a gospel/blues arrangement played on her bass marimba; also featured in the cover art.
