Grammy winning artist and songwriter, first album in 14 years.

Matraca Berg returns to the world of recorded music May 16th with the darkly mysterious roots package 'The Dreaming Fields'. Fourteen years since the Songwriters Hall of Famer released her 'Sunday Morning To Saturday Night', an album cited as one of the Top 10 Albums in any genre by TIME, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, USA TODAY, PEOPLE and a variety of daily newspapers, the introspective songwriter creates a collection of songs examining the tides and seasons of women's lives, aches and triumphs.
Matraca Berg has served as a cartographer for the hills and valleys of women?s souls, doubts, loves and sorrows her whole life. It is how she earned her first #1 at 18 and Grammy nomination at 22. That emotional transparency can be heard all over The Dreaming Fields: in the terror of fading beauty that is ?Silver & Glass? the memories and loss that permeates ?Racing The Angels? the outmoded way of life that grounds the title track, even the world weary traveler seeing the commonalities in ?A Cold Rainy Morning in London in June?

" It's a cracker of an album. I'll be giving it 5 stars" Gareth Hayes R2
