Description:
Kelly Willis returns after five years with the much-anticipated Translated From Love. Produced by long-time collaborator Chuck Prophet, Translated From Love is Willis most sonically adventurous album to date. Prophet says of Willis, `Shes one of those singers who can make a track come alive. Shes got that kind of charisma.` Translated From Love gives nods to five decades of rock, pop and country with 60s girl group drum sounds one minute and strings-drenched C&W angst the next. Its 12 tracks are comprised of originals, intriguing and unexpected covers (including a vintage Vox organ-fueled take on Iggy Pops `Success` and Adam Greens retro-cool `Teddy Boys`) plus collaborations with Prophet, acclaimed singer songwriter Jules Shear and Kellys husband, ace country songwriter Bruce Robison.
