Shes a pregnant inmate and shes speaking to her unborn child, Scheinman said. Shes a toughie, shes kind of raging at the world for the injustice of not being able to raise her child who will be taken away from the prison. But shes also funny. Shes also telling her child about her life, shes giving her child advice, shes saying I hope my girls got good feet and not too much charm. Which is sort of a way of saying dont get into the trouble that I got into, which comes out in the later verses.
The Littlest Prisoner also includes three instrumentals featuring her frequent collaborators from the jazz world: guitarist Bill Frissell and drummer Brian Blade. They were tricky to fit into the album, Scheinman says, without diluting its focus. She felt the tracks needed to be there, however, and describes them as her chance to play.
When Im singing, I have a hard time inserting myself into the song as well as a player, Scheinman said. Because I feel like Ive just been the sort of central lyrical focus. And to transfer then right into playing, I get tired of myself. But given a song that is just instrumental, its just such a delight to sail through those little melodies.
Scheinman has two tours scheduled for this summer, one with Bill Frissell, the other supporting Bruce Cockburn.
