Press Release
Telling stories with chords -Jae Bedford
Jae has worn many hats, the rock cameloen, the troubador, the prolific songwriter, the bluesman and whiskey stained country singer. Jae is feeling so much more at home now in his own person & creatively. His new album 'Telling stories with chords' is the evidence of his new found comfort & faith.
The Album is a journey from start to finish. The 1st Track 'Beta Daze' with shades of 'Springsteen' has all the qualities of a bonified country/rock stadium anthem. Track 2 'Dreams' is a rock radio gem, a pure love song. Produced & co-written with Christchurch based Simon Tester.
Lonesome is a tribute to the songwriting greats lyrical references to some of them- Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Johnny Cash and more. One true thing finishes the album beautifully, sounding very much like an authentic blues classic with it's analogue recording qualities.
This album introduces Jae's Fiance Miriam Craig (Who Dreams is written about) with her amazing vocal talent. Miriam or Mimz is a Vision College music student. Mimz ads a txture to the vocal landscape of the album.
Jae say's collaboration is the key to his new found creative freedom. Collaborating on this album with Violinist, Karel Ploranski on 2 tracks as well as Miriam Craig, Simon Tester, Anton Harris and Jessie Hewitt. But despite these healthy Colaborations, the digital age has bought Jae new freedoms. Jae plays more on this album than any other, including bass, guitar, mandolin, sampling, percussion as well as engineering and producing most of the record.
In celebration of the completion of the new album jae has made 2 (Live n Kickin & Stark Raving)of his 5 album back catalogue available free via his new website www.jaebedford.webs.com. One true Thing, Unplugged n Unhinged & Telling stories with chords available for purchase on itunes.com soon.
