Product Description
Fourth Corner was recorded in New York with producer/keyboardist Thomas Bartlett (aka Doveman, who's also worked with Glen Hansard, Antony and the Johnsons, Grizzly Bear and The National), engineer Pat Dillett (David Byrne, St. Vincent, Mary J. Blige), with string arrangements by Rob Moose (Antony, Bon Iver). Whitley burst into public consciousness in 2011 as the lead singer of Black Dub, super-producer Daniel Lanois' (U2, Bob Dylan) project, blowing people away with a voice and presence beyond her now-25 years. She has lived a nomadic life: born in Belgium, she split her time growing up there and in New York but also frequently visiting family in France, Texas, and Mexico. Her mother came from an artistic European gypsy family, filled with musicians, painters, writers, and sculptures, while her father, renowned singer-songwriter Chris Whitley, thrust her into the world of music as a toddler when she joined him onstage in Germany at age three. With the Black Dub shows, countless solo gigs in New York and Europe, and buzz-building performances at festivals like Bonnaroo, SXSW, and Celebrate Brooklyn, Whitley has become one of the most talked about new artists of 2012. She'll embark on her first solo tour of the U.S. in November, bringing a live show that is a cathartic, emotional wallop. Before that tour begins, she will be performing at New York's McKittrick Hotel at this year's CMJ.

Review from the New York Times:

Quote:
TRIXIE WHITLEY
“Fourth Corner” (Strong Blood)

Pain, desire, rage, sorrow, determination and loneliness course through Trixie Whitley’s bluesy moan on her debut album, “Fourth Corner.” She’s haunted in ways both elemental and cerebral.

Ms. Whitley, 25, is the daughter of Chris Whitley, the hard-living Texas bluesman who died in 2005; she grew up hearing him perform in studios and onstage. But Ms. Whitley, whose mother is Belgian, also spent years as a member of theater and dance troupes in Europe before moving to New York City in her teens.

After she made an EP Ms. Whitley joined Black Dub, the producer and guitarist Daniel Lanois’s group, which released an album in 2010. The group’s smoldering grooves and reverberant guitars were a perfect fit for Ms. Whitley’s own instincts, but she’s even more radical on her own.

Her mercurial, dramatic songs aren’t tied to the standard forms or plain rhetoric of the blues or pop. Her melodies hop and swoop asymmetrically, and most of them ride choppy patterns of distorted guitars, played and layered by Ms. Whitley, that circle and seethe until she’s sung all she needs to say.
“Hotel No Name” has the buzzing, roaring guitar of Neil Young and Crazy Horse; while “Silent Rebel Pt. 2” hints at Eastern modes. “Need Your Love” ticks and claws like a Radiohead track, reaching its pleading chorus — “I need your love/I need to feel with you right now” — by way of considerably less clear-cut verses:

Living in the depths of our constellation
With saviors I’ve dared not see
I’m living off of deprivation
Tomorrow may not be.

Now and then, when guitars give way to keyboards (played by Ms. Whitley’s co-producer, Thomas Bartlett), she has a more straightforward soul side, approaching Alicia Keys territory. Steady keyboard arpeggios and a moody backdrop of strings carry the album’s first single, “Breathe You in My Dreams,” a confession of solitary longing that crests in an urgent call and response.

Last year Ms. Whitley released solo versions of four songs from the album on an EP, “Live at the Rockwood Music Hall.” But in the studio she and Mr. Bartlett have made them darker and eerier; strings, electronics and percussion add new shadows and implications. Her are as much philosophical as personal: “Condemned in the eye of a sleeping mind/Wearing out the window of time,” she sings in “Fourth Corner.” Yet even when she’s inscrutable, she’s passionate.

No Amazon sellers are currently offering the Deluxe Edition, but interested parties should be able to find it via eBay or other online sellers. (I ordered mine through Grooves Inc.)
