Lisa Redford Releases Third Album \u2018Clouds with Silver\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Lisa Redford \u201cone of our finest singer\/songwriters\u201d (Bob Harris) returns with her eagerly anticipated third studio album CLOUDS WITH SILVER a glorious and heartfelt follow up to the critically acclaimed LOST AGAIN (2005).<\/b><\/p>\n

Featuring eleven finely crafted self-written songs CLOUDS WITH SILVER takes Lisa\u2019s blend of exquisitely melodic acoustic music to another level. With most tracks recorded live, the album is infused with a real intimacy showcasing Lisa\u2019s soulful and powerful voice and heartfelt lyrics. From album opener, the upbeat radio friendly “Come Back Down”, to the sweeping uplifting \u201cLive Your Life\u201d, through to the plaintive yearning ballads \u201cThe Boy Who\u2026\u201d and “Makes Your Heart Sing”, the album is full of standout tracks. Other highlights include the dreamy “Call Me” and “NY Song” which also display her dynamic and evocative voice and immense gift for melodic hooks. The album closes with live tracks \u201cNew Years Day\u201d and \u201cTime to Grow\u201d. Recorded live in the studio with just her voice and acoustic guitar, these two tracks totally capture the raw heartfelt emotion of Lisa’s live performance.<\/b><\/p>\n

Recorded mostly in New York City at Monkeyboy Studios, the album is co-produced with respected producer and multi-instrumentalist Brad Albetta (Martha Wainwright, Rufus Wainwright, Teddy Thompson) who also adds some subtle sonic dimensions on bass and keyboards. The acoustic songs are also enriched by some truly beautiful string arrangements. \u201cMakes Your Heart Sing\u201d and \u201cHere Alone\u201d feature strings by one of Nashville\u2019s most highly regarded producers David Henry (Josh Rouse, Alison Krauss, REM) and New York based violinist Claudia Chopek (Ryan Adams, HEM) created the wonderful lilting arrangements on \u201cNY Song\u201d and \u201cLive Your Life\u201d. More of New York\u2019s most outstanding musicians guest on some of the tracks. Superb drummer Matt Johnson (Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright) adds his talent to the two full band tracks and the excellent guitarist Jim Campilongo (in Norah Jones\u2019s The Little Willies) contributes his trademark Telecaster sound to the upbeat Americana track \u201cWhen You Come Home\u201d.<\/b><\/p>\n


\nLisa’s two previous albums SLIPSTREAM and LOST AGAIN, have gained widespread glowing print reviews and received airplay on radio stations around the world. Her track \u2018Dragonfly\u2019 was featured on a \u2018Best of British\u2019 special on BBC Radio 2 which showcased the Best British songwriters. Lisa has also built a reputation as a compelling live performer and, along with many festival appearances, has opened for many respected artists including Kathryn Williams, Brian Kennedy, Chuck Prophet, Devon Sproule, Kate Campbell, Laura Veirs, Jesse Sykes, The Handsome Family, The Deadstring Brothers, Boo Hewerdine and The Arlenes.<\/b><\/p>\n

On CLOUDS WITH SILVER, Redford dramatically fulfils the promise of her previous albums with her arresting vocals, refreshing melodic sound and reflective lyrics. “Like all my work, this album \u00a0has been a real labour of love for me. From the writing and recording process to playing all the acoustic guitar and producing, I\u2019ve been totally involved in every aspect” says Redford. “The songs are very contemplative and tinged with melancholy but, as the title reveals, they are full of hope and ultimately leave an uplifting and positive message.” Already in 2008 she has played some of New York\u2019s most prestigious acoustic venues and had one of her songs, the acclaimed \u2018Dragonfly\u2019, feature in an independent movie in LA. With the release of CLOUDS WITH SILVER, further testament to her talent, Redford’s music is set to gain her an even bigger audience. Hers is striking music that is sorrowful and dreamy, but not simply for awash of studio atmosphere. Lisa\u2019s songs, as well as her voice, have a tempered reverence that coats the sadness with an aura of beauty.<\/p>\n
