Described as “a name you’ll want to remember” (San Francisco Bay Guardian), and “an outstanding singer with a sultry, soulful sound,” (Americana UK), "Outta My Head" is a collection of 12 folk songs, inspired by love.
Bio / Background
Raised in Iowa City, IA, and Madison, WI, Anna has since lived in Minnesota, Belgium, Florida, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Described as “a name you’ll want to remember” (San Francisco Bay Guardian), and “an outstanding singer with a sultry, soulful sound in the Norah Jones mould,” (Americana UK), Anna's debut CD, "Outta My Head" (Ginkgo Records), a combination of living room and studio recordings, “never fails to seduce with a plethora of beautifully written, authentic tracks and talent that is unquestionable” (SF Station). This collection—twelve meditations on love—also features the work of Birger Olsen (Portland, OR), Nick Moran (Madison), Jason Quever (San Francisco), and Mark Whitcomb (Madison)
Editor's Review, C|NET Download.com:
"Country, folk, and torchy pop gather like old friends in this San Francisco songstress's burnished tunes.
↓ more ↓Centered on softly insistent vocals (somewhere between Aimee's and Emmylou's), Laube's songs layer in plucky mandolin, quavering slide, and enough good faith to keep the campfire burning late."
Todd Lavoie, SF Bay Guardian:
"Sure, it's mighty fine to have that warm, tingly feeling rippling up and down your spine as you discover your newest favorite song by an artist to whom you would hand over the keys to your heart, but let's fess up: nothing comes close to being frozen in place by a song that pricks up your ears and leaves you begging, 'Who was that?!' I'm lucky enough to still feel my head swimming from such a moment. 'Something I Can Feel,' from the recent debut release by Anna Laube, Outta My Head (Ginkgo Records), lured me from the grayness of my computer and whisked me off to better, brighter places. Fans of Jolie Holland, Dolly Parton, and Sarah Harmer, take note: this local singer-songwriter has a name you'll want to remember."

Intimacy pulls the listener back time and time again on Anna Laube's debut bow, Outta My Head. The deeply personal tracks, such as Goodbye Blue Monday, shut down the outside world. Laube sings of love on Beautiful Boy and Angelina ( Angelina/So glad you're mine ) . Outta My Head is one of those collections that you want to listen to on your own, but part of you wants to give a copy to all of your friends, especially to those who are Norah Jones fans. Laube blends jazz, folk, country and blues in the style of Lucinda Williams and Tara Angell. She will be taking to the stage on Feb. 28 at The Smoke Daddy, 1804 W. Division. Outta My Head is out now on Gingko Records.

I must admit to being a bit of a pop tart when it comes to a woman with a guitar. Somehow they always seem to get fast tracked through the review pile, leaving ugly dudes behind in their wake. But, more often than not, I'm setting myself up for a fall, as the ability to pose with a guitar is rarely a reflection of any great musical talent. However, once in a blue moon, the system pays dividends. And this is one of those times as the ludicrously talented Ms Laube has enriched my day. A child prodigy, Anna has worked her way through symphony orchestras and jazz bands before bringing it on back home to an intimate, smoky, jazz tinged, late night, soulful, blues. Naturally, anyone working in that idiom is going to be hit over the head with the Norah Jones stick, but across the twelve, self penned songs, Anna proves she is very much her own woman. No more so than on the album highlight, 'The Most Beautiful Thing I've Ever Seen', which is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. A few others run it close - 'It Makes Me Happy' and 'If You Build It' are a joy to listen to. But to be honest, if this were a vinyl record, you could pop the needle down anywhere and be rewarded with a righteous noise.

Very solid album. Folk songs infused with bit of blues and country.Anna Laube's voice is lovely and warm.If you like The Be Good Tanyas etc. give this go. Good picks The Beautiful Boy, Honeybee and Angelina. Other tracks are good as well. Feel Good Music for lazy Sunday mornings.
