A wonderful new, in-depth article on Brigitte and the new album Seeker by Tina Benitez-Eves has been published online at the American Songwriter website.
Patience proved to be a valuable tool in the creation of Mockingbird Soul, the recent co-billed album from Brigitte DeMeyer and Will Kimbrough. The pair had been writing songs for several years as well as recording and touring together. Mockingbird Soul gracefully puts on display the results, the title track echoing Blues on an arrangement existing of a bass line and electric guitar notes as Brigitte DeMeyer encourages to pay attention to the quiet and hear the ‘whisper of your mockingbird soul’.
Let’s be straight: I don’t like Will Kimbrough. Will Kimbrough is just too talented and inspiring. I know it is irrational jealousy as I have no musical talent, and I am sure I am better at a couple things that Kimbrough is—not much market for ability to recite random facts from the backs of 70s O-Pee-Chee hockey cards, though.
Though we didn’t even know it, we have been waiting for the new collaboration record from Will Kimbrough and Brigitte DeMeyer. It has been a wait because the duo began playing together more than five years ago, and have only just now decided to make an album. And it is a low key beauty that will sneak up on you in the cold, dark, end of January.
