Corbi Wright Live on WMBR's Phoning It In Program

Hosted by:

Originally aired:

"Whether performed on a 1926 Knabe grand piano or a 2006 Fender Telecaster, Corbi Wright's songs shimmer with a celestial glow. Otherworldly yet warm and immediate, this music contains such seemingly contrasting elements as the mellowness of 70s pop, the starkness of American plain song, the quaint charm of ragtime and the plucky twang of country-western. Wright delivers her magic slight of hand, through subtle, sophisticated lyrics self-accompanied almost effortlessly. Her simple chord progressions and pregnant pauses act as a melodic line to create the secondary sympathetic voices that haunt this album. There is a definite Laurel Canyon sound to All the Little Ways, though Wright's musical palette is rather contrary to that of her California singer/songwriter predecessors. This release will be of particular interest to fans of artists like Bridget St. John, Judee Sill, Dusty Springfield, Jackie DeShannon and Karen Carpenter."

Location: 88.1 FM
