Album Notes

With smoky vocals reminiscent of Tracy Chapman and Everything But the Girl's Tracy Thorn, Courtney holds court on stage with a presence far beyond her 20 years. Hailing from Dallas, the singer-songwriters latest album, 'Long Way' captures the bittersweet ache of a lover's loss, the beauty of nature and the confusion of a young woman standing at the crossroads of life. 'Rain on the asphalt, streets flooding with the essence of heaven, streetlights reflect off the water. Weaving red and green like a painting, like our lives -- blended together with such chaos... Hundreds of ways to say I'm gone...' In an incredibly short time, the prolific Miss Fairchild has already recorded two full-length albums, as well as enjoyed the honor of opening for singer-songwriter veterans such as Patty Larkin and Karla Bonoff. 'Long Way' was produced by John Would and fellow Texas singer-songwriter Sally Semrad. -- Heather McCullough

Music: Alternative, Folk, Roots Rock, Country
