Album Notes

A poet frined of mine dubbed Penelope a "country" Edith Piaf-the parisian operatic street singer who wove stories out of the lives she saw around her. What distinguishes Penelope's songs from most in pop and country alike is that they are not generally lamentations or love songs, from anyone, to anyone. Each springs from a specific moment in a woman's life. Or actually, there are an assortment of women: One has car trouble, one is suddenly single, one cheats on her diet, one is a truck driver's wife Combine these fine and true lyrics with strong melodies and you have a great listen experience ahead of you. Suzanne Lummis, poet, journalist, playwright, and director of the L.A. Poetry Festival.
