Lizz Wright Artist Snapshot:

Georgia-born vocalist Lizz Wright mixes R&B, jazz, folk, and pop in a distinctive style that bears echoes of Nina Simone and Cassandra Wilson (she has also worked with Wilson's producer Craig Street). Wright released her first album, SALT, in 2002. Around that time she also began making guest vocal appearances on albums by a wide variety of artists, collaborating with everyone from jazz keyboardist Joe Sample to singer/songwriter Amos Lee. Wright has paid homage to both the Americana and jazz sides of her musical personality by appearing on tributes to Ella Fitzgerald and the Band.

Review

Uncut (p.113) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Her take on Patsy Cline's 'Strange' shimmers with loss and longing, while taking a shot at Led Zep's 'Thank You' is inspired as it is bold."
Down Beat (p.75) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[Wright] pulls off the trick of sounding self-possessed even when she's vulnerable, as on the heartbeat-bass driven 'My Heart' and the ticking, slow backbeat of 'When I Fall'..."
No Depression (p.72) - "[A] thoroughly modern yet classically constructed album of love songs."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.114) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[The] uncluttered production and skeletal, organic arrangements allow Wright's voice to shine on haunting tunes like 'Speak Your Heart'..."

Title Note

Vocalist Lizz Wright mixes jazz, gospel, and soul on THE ORCHARD, an intimate, intensely personal album that ranks among the most compelling of the artist's career. With help from singer-songwriter Toshi Reagon, Marc Anthony Thompson (who records under the name Chocolate Genius), and members of Ollabelle, Calexico, and Bob Dylan's band, Wright has created a beautiful, organic feel on THE ORCHARD--one that is the perfect vehicle for her expressive voice and original songwriting vision. Yet it is Wright herself that shines through most powerfully here, whether on stunning originals such as "When I Fall" or her treatments of Ike and Tina's "I Idolize You" or Led Zeppelin's "Thank You."
