A fresh aroma of coffeehouse blues
author: Mikey J - CD unsignedA fresh aroma of coffeehouse blues, blended carefully with a spoonful of arthouse and just that subtle flavour of jazz. Perceptive lyrics and compelling songwriting, set against an acoustic backdrop of musical colour.
Solid Gold
author: Sue McCreeth, UK Jazz SingerEleven songs written and performed by Faye Patton on vocals and piano. She writes really good hooks, not just on the voice but in her piano part too, so its just all there in your head days later. Faye won my heart years ago with her line “There’s a woman on the tracks and I’m going to lay down by her side”. That spirit of empathy is alive as ever in ‘I know the prisoner’. This new collection sees Faye laying down her piano grooves as solid gold as ever with richer chords than formerly, and some intricate classically inspired excursions. With warmth, soul, delicacy and an impeccable sense of technique and tuning, she patiently unfolds her stories, from the heart rending ‘A Foolish Fool’ to the humourous ‘Darling I do’. ‘Season for Everything’ could be a classic jazz blues gem.
Pure Versatility
author: Keith Ames, Musician MagazineFaye describes herself as a jazz-inflected singer and songwriter. While there are traces of jazz across her latest offering, 'Going Solo', she reflects a varied number of influences across the 11 cuts - her versatile vocals and mature piano playing cannot be so easily filed under one genre. Being a stripped down recording, her writing and personality are to the fore and exhibit a confidence in both her material and performance skills. I liked the dextrous riffs in the title song and the playful blues of 'I've Lost My Baby Now', before being mightily impressed by the late night duskiness of closer 'Season For Everything'.
