Album Notes

West, the debut album from American singer-songwriter Adrian St. John, is at once a musical exploration of America's musical heritage and a meditation on the artist's personal history. With a lyrical style that has been described as cinematic and boldly tender, "West" is an artful metaphor that exposes the roots of an artist at the crux of her own destiny, and the loss of innocence that comes with the American western experience. A decidedly roots-rock album, "West" provides listeners with a fresh take on the quintessential aspects of country, rock, blues and folk. With enough soul to command the attention of purists, as well as newcomers to the Americana genre, Adrian St. John stakes her claim with an undeniably "Western" sound.
