Description
“The record is called ‘Ain’t Who I Was’ because I’m not the same person I was, personally or musically,� says Bishop. “I was at a point where I just didn’t know anymore. I didn’t even have a vision, and this amazing producer came alongside me and believed in me and pulled my voice back out and made me get back up and sing.�“[Cobb] knew that I had a deep story that I wanted to tell and he really helped me do that,� Bishop says. It’s a story of transformation, expressed in lyrics of longing, loss, loneliness and finally, resurrection. Cobb picked six songs from her list of 36, including six she co-wrote, and they found four more. One is “Done Died,� a spiritual he discovered on YouTube, sung by an old Mississippi bluesman named Boyd Rivers. Cobb had been saving it for someone special; when she heard it, she cried.
