Caitlin Robertson recently released her first full-length album at Wild Sound Recording Studio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Coyote Blues was released on December 30th, 2011. Co-produced by Ian Thomas Alexy of "Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank" and Caitlin Robertson and featuring guest musicians such as Ian Thomas Alexy, Erik Koskinen of the "Erik Koskinen Band", and Ryan Young of "Trampled by Turtles", Caitlin's first album is one to listen to. One can hear influences of artists such as Lucinda Williams and Iris DeMent in Caitlin's music, lilting voice and gritty lyrics. Her lyrical, poetic "folk-rock-country-pop" songs tell emotional, place-based narratives and conjure up images that range from lonely red barns, heartache as barren as the Sierra Hills, aging waitresses, melting ice cream cones to the fragile face of a baby sleeping in the night. The songs on Coyote Blues show the depth of attention Caitlin gives to the people and landscapes that surround her, and her ability to beautifully articulate her experiences to others through her music. They describe universal emotions in thoughtful ways as well as demonstrate an urgency to live in the moment--to "live foolishly". Many of Caitlin's songs have a sweetness and hopefulness to them, but Coyote Blues as a whole is sad and world-weary enough to avoid being criticized for its naivete. Give it a listen! Coyote Blues is available here as well as at Electric Fetus and Hymie's Vintage Records.
