Translation
Just
twenty years ago the British singer and songwriter Liz Lenten from the
English county of Lincolnshire decided to set up her own music formation
under the name "Auburn". Many albums later she continues to surprise
with every new album with her sublime mix of americana, country, roots
music and blues in the songs. 'Rootstime' has been able to comment on
some of those albums for you in recent years: there was “Indian Summer”
in 2012 and I myself wrote reviews for “Nashville” in 2014, “Mixed
Feelings” in 2015 and “Love & Promises” in 2016 All these albums
came after a fairly long break in the career of Liz Lenten who only
decided in 2011 to fully devote himself to creating new songs.
Also
the brand new album "Game Of Faith" from "Auburn" may have been added
to my package of reviewable CDs again, because even now we can only
write down more positive words about the fourteen songs that Liz Lenten
has recorded on this album. Because of the great diversity in her songs,
her sound has been compared in the past with some widely divergent
fellow singers such as Bonnie Raitt in the bluesy tracks, Dusty
Springfield in the country ballads and even Norah Jones and Billie
Holiday in the more jazzy and soul-inspired songs . We can confirm that
subtle elements can be heard from each of these singers in the songs on
"Game Of Faith".
Liz
Lenten seeks inspiration for her songs in meticulously evaluating
situations, relationships, emotions and personal experiences in love and
in her life. Songs like "Bad Girl, Good Woman", "I Don't Love Him",
"Happy Nowhere", "It's Not Love", "Like I Do" and "His Arms" are new
songs that all have a place managed to conquer this new album that will
be released at the end of May.
The
record was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee with producer Thomm Jutz, a
man who had previously collaborated with, among others, Mary Gauthier
and Nanci Griffith and who also took care of the three previous albums
of "Auburn" as producer. The musicians who played these songs in the
recording studio are Thomm Jutz on guitars, Mark Fain on bass and Lynn
Williams on drums, while Britt Savage provides matching harmony vocals a
few times.
Finally, we
would like to add a few titles of musical highlights to "Game Of Faith",
because that is something that can be said of the songs "Trinidad", the
previously mentioned songs "Bad Girl, Good Woman", "Happy Nowhere"
”And“ It's Not Love ”,“ Float To Blue ”and“ Spoke In The Wheel
”accompanied by twisting guitar sounds. "Craftsmanship is mastery" is a
very applicable definition for this latest album of "Auburn", the
musical prodigy of the stylish British singer-songwriter Liz Lenten for
two decades.
