Her father provided something else important to Pieta Brown’s music and more. He introduced her to blues musician Bo Ramsay. They first met when she was just seventeen. They later became partners in music and in life.
Bo Ramsay plays guitar on Pieta Brown’s new album “Mercury.” Here is the title song.
(MUSIC)
Pieta Brown grew up in the southeastern United States. She says she had a dream one night of returning to the South to make a recording. Soon after, she was invited to record in a one room studio in rural Tennessee. She said the building was very much like what she saw in her dream. And she immediately accepted the invitation.
All of “Mercury” was recorded in that studio in three days. The first song on the album is the lively “Be With You.”
(MUSIC)
Many critics have praised Pieta Brown. One called her work, “a dreamy wandering into the heart and soul of uniquely American music.” Another described her songs as “polished poetry.” We leave you with Pieta Brown performing “Glory to Glory” from her album “Mercury.”
