Review

Sally Spring, folk-rock marvel since the 70's, self released records long before the "indie" world was popular. Her fourth recording, Mockingbird, features not only her inimitable voice and evocative, powerful songwriting but also contributions from star studded line up including Gene Parsons (The Byrds), Tift Merritt, Marshall Crenshaw, Graham Maby (Natalie Merchant, Joe Jackson), Caitlin Cary (Tres Chicas, Whiskeytown), James Mastro (Ian Hunter, Jayhawks, Bongos), Brandon Bush (Train), Faye Hunter (Let's Active), John Teer (Chatham County Line), Fred Smith (Television), and Thad Cockrell. The CD was co-produced by Ted Lyons (who accompanies Spring in concert and is known for his work on many recordings including It's a Wonderful Life) and Chris Stamey (known for his production work with Whiskeytown, Alejandro Escovedo, Cary and others.

Hailed by Variety as "a captivating performer," and a "show stopper" by Sing Out, "Veteran folk-rocker Sally Spring performs with the likes of Gene Parsons and Marshall Crenshaw as well as local luminaries Tift Merritt and Caitlin Cary. But Sally's stunning voice and captivating songwriting make her the heartbeat that keeps the whole enterprise pumping," The Independent notes. Sally casts a mesmerizing spell on both record and the stage and weaves into her own tapestry English folk-rock, bluegrass, old time music, country-rock of yore and today's alternative country along with touches of everything from New York rock to classic folk to pop. If you like Sandy Denny, Rosanne Cash, or Gillian Welch you'll love Sally's music.
