Mandy Barnett

"It's All Right (You're Just In Love)"

 

Wide Open Country Premiere

 

From her new album Strange Conversation

 

Available Now

 

“…the best country album of the year.” –  No Depression

“The remarkable Strange Conversation marks a new beginning for Barnett and shows a new side of her as an artist.” – Wide Open Country

The album vividly demonstrates how a masterful singer…can bend a disparate collection of material…into a singular, compelling vision all her own” – The Philadelphia Inquirer

"With unadulterated vocal talent, Barnett flawlessly melds emotion, seduction, and vibrancy to create an inspiring take on a classic country songbook." – Pop Matters

“…the LP bursts forth with a dynamic array of tunes from the worlds of pop, R&B and folk." – Rolling Stone Country

 

"…this is an album that will live forever. Her voice is funky and golden at the same time, no easy trick, and she carries so much emotional weight on everything she sings there is no denying that greatness has entered the house." —Bentley's Bandstand, The Morton Report

 

It all adds up to what may be the richest record of her career: surprising, lively, and deeply felt.” – AllMusic

 

Mandy Barnett laughs when she’s asked “What took you so long?” to make Strange Conversation, her progressive take on the postmodern American songbook. Sure, she’s a classicist who’s channeled Patsy Cline in a theatrical musical, recorded classic country songs with legendary producer Owen Bradley, and transfixed known musicos Seymour Stein, Arif Mardin and Ahmet Ertegun with her timeless stylings. But Barnett, who signed her first major label deal at age 12, decided she needed a change.

 

“I needed to cleanse my palette,” explains the woman with a voice that’s all sultry velour. “I’m a torch singer, somebody who can do a little bit of everything. Pop, blues, gospel, country, soul — songs with emotion are what I do.” And so, she had to decide what to do next. While musical soul-searching, Barnett honed her symphony show (performing with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the Ulster Orchestra in Belfast) and even reached back to an old passion — visual art — to get her creative juices flowing in a fresh direction. In between touring performing art centers, historic theaters and concert halls, and making gallery-exhibited artwork, Barnett embraced thoughts of finding different material to record. 

 

Produced by Marco Giovino and Doug Lancio Strange Conversation places the vocalist between obscure vintage pop and modern progressive songwriting. Think Lee Hazlewood and the Tams meet Tom Waits and Greg Garing with a little Mable John thrown in. If it sounds too good to be true, Hazlewood’s “The Fool,” the Tams’ “It’s All Right (You’re Just in Love),” Waits’ “”Puttin’ on the Dog” and Garing’s “Dream Too Real to Hold” are all part of the conversation, a musky brew of desire, rapture, and discovery.
