about

Big Crown is proud to present this gem of a soul record from Portland’s own Shirley Nanette. The record walks the line of jazz singer and soulstress coming out with a sound that nods to different eras but is unique in its own right.

In the early seventies, Hank Swarn and Shirley Nanette collaborated on a project called Never Coming Back. Swarn had been on the road for five years, lending his guitar-backing talent to Earl Grant and his band. While on tour, he wrote some tunes that were ultimately released on the Never Coming Back album. Al Nanette approached Hank about putting together a record with Shirley, who was also keen on getting in the studio. Luckily, Swarn already had songs to bring to the session. With the support of some talented local musicians, the album was recorded mostly in one or two takes in a little over a week. Unfortunately, the album saw little exposure. Needless to say, this tremendous effort by Nanette, who continues to sing and perform in Portland, has touched the hearts of many who've recently heard the album for the first time.

Sublime album, fantastic voice and songwriting backed by solid band and production. Current favourite track is Give Me Another Day. The tracks are short and sweet but some could certainly stand extending for the dancefloor. Phing

Get On The Otherside
by Bobby Oroza

Podoba mi się okrężne podejście, samo-cytowanie, rozciąganie motywów na różne piosenki. Ta plastyczność sygnalizuje luz, zabawę, szczęśliwą manipulację. Jak mawiał poeta, "ego spadło niczym zawieszenie w moim szewi". Bobby i ekipa zawieszenia nie potrzebują. Cumulusy na których płyną radzą sobie bez tego, a na nas spływa ich błogie brzmienie, niczym ciepły letni deszcz, podwójna tęcza i darmowe zimne piwko, naraz. https://dajse.substack.com/ Bartosz

I love this so much. It inspires me in a few ways, one of which is to revisit Richard Brautigan because I wasn’t into him on my first read, but mostly it makes me want to bask in the warm places in my little world and go on early morning walks, not unlike the way I feel when I listen to Dolly Parton. katherines943
