Product Description
Album Description
2009 debut album from the singer/songwriter. Though only in her mid-20s, Birch likes to think of herself as an 'old soul', and, indeed, there is a startling maturity in her singing and a veteran's self-assurance in her writing. Birch mixes piano-playing virtuosity with easy-going Soul, and she can strike an uplifting groove on even the most melancholy tune. Her work bears hints of Laura Nyro (when she was hanging out with LaBelle) and early '70s Karen Carpenter, while effortlessly incorporating New Orleans second-line rhythms, Gospel fervor, Doo Wop harmonies, Country-Blues guitar and classic AM radio-style melodies. Among the players accompanying Birch on the album are guitarist Lenny Kaye of The Patti Smith Group, bassists Adam Blackstone from The Roots, and George Porter of The Meters, acclaimed drummers Stanton Moore of Galactic and Cindy Blackman of Lenny Kravitz fame, saxophonist-about-town Lenny Pickett, and trombonist Tom Bones Malone, along with veteran singer Eugene Pitt, lead vocalist of fabled Brooklyn vocal group, the Jive Five.

5.0 out of 5 stars
really great record,
By
This review is from: Bible Belt (Audio CD)
I only heard a couple tracks before I bought this and was so impressed that ALL the songs on this recording are very good. Usually there is only a couple tracks and the rest is dissapointing but this record has several really strong songs. Her voice is amazing, the obvious Carol King comparisons don't do her justice. I gave a copy to 2 other friends for Christmas and they loved it. Could only find one in a record store, checked everywhere and couldn't locate another so I'm buying another on Amazon because I gave mine away! Catch her on "Live from Darryl's House" on youtube. Great performance.

I saw Diane Birch perform live and was impressed. I bought this CD as soon as it came out and I am not disappointed. Every song has a slightly different flavour and I love the retro vibe of her songs and her voice.
