Garage Orchestra

Description
Reissue of the 1994 release Rolling Stone gave 4 stars, contains 9 previously unissued bonus tracks.

Anti-Folk founder Cindy Lee Berryhill burst onto the music scene in 1987 with her acclaimed debut Who’s Gonna Save The World? and followed it up two years later with the Lenny Kaye produced Naked Movie Star. However, the world would have to wait until 1994 for her next release, the ambitious Garage Orchestra.

Earning a 4-star review from Rolling Stone, Garage Orchestra was a departure from the more folk-rock leanings of her first two albums, with Cindy Lee’s singing and playing being augmented by instrumentation from strings, brass, woodwinds, and even toy piano, marimba, and tympani. Her songs had more of a ’70s singer/songwriter vibe this time around, and many had declared it the best album of her career thus far.

After Cindy Lee reappeared in 2017 with her first new album in a decade, The Adventurist, it became apparent that her 1990s releases warranted reissue. Garage Orchestra returns with the original 10 songs plus 9 previously unissued bonus tracks! It’s the perfect way for those who recently discovered her to look back, and a wonderful upgrade for those who love the original.

Packaging contains photos from Berryhill’s archives, as well as new liner notes from her. Cindy Lee will be touring in the fall, and we’re sure tracks from this release will make their way out of the garage and onto the stage. So, now is the perfect time to (re)experience Garage Orchestra.

Straight Outta Marysville

Description
Reissue of Cindy’s 1996 album, contains 6 previously unissued bonus tracks

After 5 years out of the spotlight, Cindy Lee Berryhill returned in 1994 for the ambitious Garage Orchestra. Sadly, just after that album’s release, her boyfriend and future husband, Crawdaddy! magazine founder Paul Williams, suffered a traumatic brain injury after a bicycling accident. It would take until 1996 for Straight Outta Marysville to arrive. It was worth the wait.

Taking off where Garage Orchestra began Straight Outta Marysville contains much of the same inventive writing and playing, with Cindy Lee’s vocals from and center. After reappearing in 2017 with her first new album in a decade, The Adventurist, it became apparent that her 1990s releases warranted reissue. Straight Outta Marysville returns with the original release’s 14 songs plus 6 previously unissued bonus tracks! It’s the perfect way for those who recently discovered her to look back, and a wonderful upgrade for those who love the original.

Packaging contains photos and new liner notes from Cindy Lee, as well. She will be touring in the fall, and we’re sure tracks from this release will make their way straight into the set list. So, now is the perfect time to go straight to your favorite retailer and get Straight Outta Marysville.

After reading this, I had to double check when Who’s Gonna Save The World came out. It hardly seems possible that it's been 32 years.
