Album Notes

"Best 5 DIY Albums of 2006" - Performing Songwriter

"One of the best folk artists you haven't heard of." -About.com

"Bean's vocals recall Billie Holiday, only with sheer joy replacing all that pain." The Seattle Post Intellegencer

Bean was raised in a rodeo family on the plains of Wyoming. Listening to her mother's scratchy Scott Joplin records, at the age of five, she began to study piano. She kicked around here and there, eventually landing in a big house in Austin, full of jazz musicians, hooligans, exchange students and bike mechanics, from whom she learned to play jazz, fix bicycles, speak Russian and drink hooch- all at the same time.

Pulled by the love of a very special bicycle mechanic, Datri was dragged kicking and screaming from Austin to Seattle Datri coped by crying as perpetually as the Seattle skies and singing songs about the sunny South. She soon returned to Austin to record her ten-song, all original, debut album, Slow Down Summertime, working with Stanley Smith (Asylum Street Spankers) on clarinet, Rob Jewett (Wayne the Train Hancock) on upright bass, and Scott French on drums. On some particularly sassy tracks, she is joined by Terry Shimazu on an almost gospel Hammond B3 organ, and, on the tearjerker Not Enough Winter, by pedal steel legend, Kim Deschamps.

Little Box of Treasure!

My sweetheart and I went to see the Ditty Bops when Datri was opening for them. What a treat!  We love the Ditties to death, but I must confess I came away with a big-time crush on Datri.  Her voice is unbelievable, her lyrics are fun and smart and soulful.  If you get a chance to see her perform, pounce.  If not, for goodness sake treat yourself to this CD!

My husband and I had the ooprtunity to see Datri Bean in concert last year and loved her music and humor.  I bought her CD for a Valentine's Day gift for my husband, and he was thrilled!  We would love to have her produce another CD, as her music is just too fun!  A MUST buy!!

Great CD. And not just because Datri is my cousin.  I'm a musician as well, and this woman has TALENT.

So glad I found this CD!

I am so glad I found this CD. Datri has a wonderful voice, and she is a fine songwriter. Spend time reading the lyrics which she includes with the CD. The lyrics to "Jim's Giant Truck Stop" are strong. I love the songs "Slow Down Summertime" and "Sweet Tea." Very nicely recorded, too. The clarinet is a good compliment to Datri's voice. And there's humour on this album too, especially the song about her dog. Very funny. Recommended. -- Blue Morris, www.bluemorris.com
