Details:
Lorelei Loveridge and Bakhoor
Lorelei Loveridge lived for 11 years in Saudi Arabia, pre and post 9/11, and loved it. She experienced religious zealots, compound invasions, a terrorist chase, earthquake, tsunami, war in Lebanon, crazy drivers, nutty expats and more, and survived to tell the tales in story and song.
Her physical, personal, and musical journey is documented in Bakhoor, a 4-year, 15-song album project recorded in India, Canada and Saudi Arabia. It features some of the finest artists from across the globe including award-winning Canadian jazz/roots/blues guitarists Brian Hughes (producer of Loreena McKennitt), Harry Manx, and Lester Quitzau.
A contemporary acoustic songwriter who draws comparisons with Tracy Chapman and Joni Mitchell, Loveridge pairs a passionate political sense with an understanding of the complex personal stories that go beyond politics. Loveridge and Canadian producer Rob Hewes have woven the sounds of tabla, oud, darbuka, Tibetan overtone chants, violin, bazouki, Latin/African/slide blues guitar into a richly-textured, multicultural tour-de-force.
While "Home is Where the Heart Is"—a song about the pain of a mother and her Palestinian daughter—is the first single off of the album, U.S. songwriter and guitar legend Dick Wagner says this of Loveridge and Bakhoor: "Her vocals are hauntingly emotive, her songs are beautifully structured folk/pop creations and her musicians are world-class interpreters of her musical vision…The brilliant ''Oh, India'' sets the tone and atmosphere for this musical journey…a journey you won''t forget. I personally love Lorelei''s music and recommend it to all seekers of sophisticated yet accessible music."
"Lovely voice...be very proud of where you have taken this music."
- David Kershenbaum (Producer, Tracy Chapman)
