MOTHER is the solo debut from Natalie
Maines, the always provocative, multi-platinum, Grammy-Award winning
singer of the Dixie Chicks. On MOTHER, people will hear a new direction
from the singer. Heavily influenced by the more rock-based, edgy and
intense sound of title track, and Pink Floyd cover, "Mother," Maines
teamed up with friend and Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, and guitar
wizard Ben Harper, who co-produced the record with Maines. The album was
recorded in Harper's studio.
"I wanted this music to be very
different from the Dixie Chicks," she says. "Lots of albums by lead
singers might just as well have been made by the band, but I think this
is very different from anything the Chicks could make. That separation
and distinction was important."
One of the initial songs they
tackled was the soaring, tortured ballad from Pink Floyd's The Wall that
ultimately gave this album its title. The result is a cover, which
NPR's Ann Powers has described as "a tender acknowledgment of how fear
can entrap all of us, even when we want to do nothing but love."
"Free
Life" was written by Dixie Chicks collaborator and Grammy-Award winner,
Dan Wilson. As different as this new music is from her Dixie Chicks
roots, the songwriting credits on "Come Cryin' to Me" reveal that even
her fellow Dixie Chicks Martie Maguire and Emily Robison still kept a
hand in the new project. "That was a song we decided was too rock for
Taking the Long Way," Maines explains, "but it really felt right to have
a piece of them on here."
All of the album's 10 songs were
selected because of personal connections to Natalie. Jeff Buckley's
"Lover You Should Have Come Over" was a reminder for Maines of the early
days in relationship with her husband, actor Adrian Pasdar. She
discovered "Without You" on her friend Eddie Vedder's ukulele album, and
heard a groove that she thought might fit.
What started out as a
fun session with friend Ben Harper, quickly developed into the solo
debut from one of our generations most coveted voices.
