Details:
From the open meadows of California’s sierra mountains, Corinne West spins tales with a part velvet and part grit voice that is both achingly penetrating and highly addictive. Her music has a cool, layered, yet driven sound and has been referred to as "utterly spell-binding", "radiant", and "extraordinarily beautiful" by reviewers world-wide.
Her writing runs a golden thread through the likes of country, bluegrass, western, Americana and folk, resulting in a style that is hers alone. With the talents of Nina Gerber and some friends from The Waybacks, Corinne has concocted the perfect Americana recipe, which recently resulted in her acclaimed debut album "Bound For the Living".
Corinne is currently working on her follow up record for "Bound For The Living", which is being produced with Mike Marshall. When not in the studio, she is captivating audiences far and wide with a full touring schedule and a solid dedication to the road. She performs with her band The Posse, which is a rotating cast of talented instrumentalists.
Ms. West is forging her own contribution to Americana music, which fuses the distinct voice of an original singer-songwriter with the driving steam of an American Roots train. Combining a swingin’ pace with melodic ballads, Corinne delivers a soulful body of music that strikes the listener at the core.

"She burns the paint off the walls!"

"Hailing from California''s North Sierras, Corinne West brought her own style of "mountain music" to our audience like a breath of fresh, cool air. Her strong and sincere delivery of intelligent and passionate songs kept our audiences spellbound and satisfied. With the increase lately in the popularity of old time and bluegrass music, it is delightful to here a songwriter and performer who, while paying homage to these roots, has created a very fresh sound of her own. Many of her songs feel like traditional chestnuts even when heard for the first time."
~Brent Hutchinson ~Artistic Director - Producer ~ Cowichan Folk Guild ~ Islands Folk Festival ~ Vancouver Island BC ~ December 2005
"On Bound for the Living, Corinne West has immediately established her place in the top echelon of Americana singer/songwriters. With a pure and passionate voice, memorable songs.... Corinne has delivered one of the best CDs of the year."
~Eric Alan, Music Director, Jefferson Public Radio
"Although this album was released in 2004, I still think it should be nominated for a Grammy in 2005. This album radiates the emotions, passions, declarations of love, philosophies, hope and disappointments from someone who has put her heart and soul into this brilliant album."
~SWA ~ Rootstime, Belgium ~ March 2005
"Wow! - after reviewing some 200 to 300 cd''s this year, I finally receive one that stops me dead!! ...easily the ''dark horse" folk/acoustic release of the year! What a great release - thank you for sending it."

"Bound for the Living exemplifies what is right about American music; honest, straightforward music that can make you think, feel and dream simultaneously. Well-crafted lyrics, great melodies and a voice that puts them all together. Corinne expounds the passion and emotion that are the tell-tale signs of living your music, not simply performing it. "Bound for the Living" has still not left my CD player."
~Jack Thompson, National Sales Manager, Broadjam Inc.
