Description
She'll put a spell on you. Sweet as molasses and woodsmoke, clear and burning as summer sun, Chastity Brown casts magic. Her voice brings you to the crossroads with every turn, warms, comforts and challenges you. She is the inheritor of Leadbelly, Nina Simone, Bonnie Raitt and Roberta Flack. She is past, present and future.
Throw all the genres and hyphenates together you want to describe her - gospel, roots & soul, jazz, blues & country - they are all right, and also not enough. Chastity channels songs that are borne deep in the American bone, the hunger, desperation and confidence that runs through our times. Coming from Tennessee to Minnesota, touring the country, she has had half her own lifetime and million lifetimes gone before to concoct her powerful sound.
Recorded primarily at the venerable Helsinki South studios in Nashville, Chastity returns to a Southern warmth with a roster of heavyweight studio musicians backing her up. Among them, bass player Anton Nesbit has credits such as Mavis Staples and BeBe & CeCe Winans to his name and organist Blair Masters has performed with Garth Brooks. Also on Back-Road Highways is guitarist Robert Mulrennan of No Bird Sing, who plays with Chastity in her live band. Chastity pulls from a diverse cross-section of talent for her live shows, playing with percussionist Michael X, keyboardist deVon Gray (Heiruspecs) and bass player Jef Sundquist (Hildur Victoria), resulting in restless, electrifying and completely enveloping performances that never want to stop and linger long after the last note has quieted.
Back-Road Highways is the best yet from Chastity. Opening with the slow, pulsing insistence of "House Been Burnin' ", a cry out for our needs, she follows it up with the rocking blues of "When We Get There" and the plaintive, moving roots of "Solely". Chastity turns it all around and brings out the joys and sorrows of love with the enormous, pleading, "Say It" balanced with the sweetly ecstatic "After You". Throughout Back-Road Highways, Chastity sings it all out, gives us all a reason to keep on going one more day. -
