Description:
Most days (and nights) you can find Jenny Lewis singing and playing with Rilo Kiley, a glorious quartet whose third album, 2004`s More Adventurous, has charmed and delighted fans and peers worldwide. Rabbit Fur Coat, Jenny`s first solo album is one of the most bewitching and intoxicating discs of music you`ve heard in years. Modeled after the great "white soul" classics of the past - particularly Laura Nyro and Labelle`s seminal Gonna Take A Miracle - Rabbit Fur Coat finds Jenny reaching out to her far-flung assortment of wildly talented friends (including co-producer M.Ward, Death Cab For Cutie`s Ben Gibbard, Maroon 5`s James Valentine and Mickey Madden, and label boss Oberst) while simultaneously coming into her own as an individual performer and storyteller. No Depressions` Brian Barr describes Rabbit Fur Coat as "an album which harkens back to yesteryear without any of the fake tape hiss, needle scratches or studio trickery common to such retro styled projects. She simply sang they way she remembered voices sounding on her parent`s turntable and as a result made an effortlessly vintage-sounding record." (Team Love Records)
