Album Notes

Ginny Mitchell's newest CD is packed with Americana/Folk gems. With self-penned tunes "Miss you Boy" and "Ed and Alice" Ginny establishes herself as a talented songwriter as well as the award winning singer we've known her to be.

She is joined on this CD by Nina Gerber on Guitar, John Knowles (Chet Atkins favorite guitar player), Tiran Porter on bass (Doobie Brothers fame) and Barry Phillips on cello (George Harrison). This is a departure from a country/bluegrass project, because Ginny stretches out to include rock favorites by the Cure and the Rolling Stones (although this is done in bluegrass styling). She also includes quiet versions of jazz standards, "Stardust" and "Wish Upon a Star". Take a listen and you will hear for yourself!

Ginny began her career in Canada placing five hits into Canada's top 40 shortly after starting her recording career, which brought her talent to the attention of an entire nation. She recorded in Nashville with her friend and producer, Mark Schatz. The "Wild Rose" cd is a a reflection of Ginny’s influences- Gordon Lightfoot, Merle Haggard and Claire Lynch.Mark Schatz called some of his friends in on the sessions : Bela Fleck, Wyatt Rice, Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas, John Jorgenson and Mark O'Connor. This was when nobody knew their names and they had just arrived in town. The people in Ginny's hometown of Santa Cruz were well aware of their music though, because Ginny and her friends had a daily diet of it on KFAT radio.

Now Ginny has returned to her music career full time and is enjoying the fruits of her labors. To find out more visit her at www.ginnymitchell.com.
