"Freewheelin' lyrics"--"poetic tendrils that cling"-- backed with guitar and peppered with a variety of instrumentation (mandolin, cello and harmonica...)
Bio / Background
An Arcata, CA based singer/songwriter, Lila Nelson has been writing songs since her single digits and performs regularly from a collection of well over one hundred originals. Her music has been likened to that of Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Rickie Lee Jones, and Loudon Wainwright III. A true poetic intuition--her unconventional voice conveys at once the joy and pain of the everyday. Her latest CD, "still got the farm" pulls from songs written over the last ten years. The recording is self-produced with her husband and partner Ian Caliendo, who also plays mandolin, guitar, and mbira.
"Lila Nelson's definitely got what it takes. Her lyrics are framed by one of the most haltingly beautiful voices I've ever heard. When you think about what great music is supposed to have, it's all on this record: sincerity, melody, insight, and inspiration. We started playing "still got the farm" the same day we got it. All the DJ's love it, and we get regular requests for several cuts on it.
