Americana singer/songwriter, character driven narratives
Bio / Background
René West’s second CD, This Town, collects 12 new character-driven songs about working class people – it’s filled with often flawed but likeable factory workers, used car salesmen, gold diggers, hotel workers, and murderers. The songs explore social issues, and the narratives are delivered in a strong, full voice that Matthew Smith of Fort Worth Weekly described as “part Janis Joplin, part Lucinda Williams, part West’s own style.”
This Town’s dozen original songs include many of her most requested songs.
The opening track, “Counting Pennies,” sets the stage with a person searching sofa cracks for change to buy gas. “Close Out Sale” is a metaphor for divorce and a criticism of consumer culture. “Moon and the Stars” reflects on the value of love in a materialistic world, while “Pretty” explores the lure of the city and media’s influence on a young girl’s desires.
