“Britta Lee Shain sings with grit and passion.
Ride with her. You'll enjoy the trip."
SONNIE BROWN, Host of Song Town on
Public Radio KCBX
It is rare that a debut singer
songwriter album receives
so much pre-release
praise, but this gutsy,
roots-based CD
generates that kind of
excitement. Produced by the outstanding multi-instrumentalist,
Freddy Koella (whose credits include Bob Dylan and K.D. Lang),
Between The River And The Road is “one powerhouse of an
album… sparse and haunting… creating a dark, mysterious
landscape that is filled with intrigue and dramatic tension.”—The
BardChord

A novelist/screenwriter turned songwriter, Shain delivers her edgy
lyrics and thought provoking themes with a unique vocal style that
has led her to be dubbed “a female Tom Waits” (Linda Kordek, The
Agency Group). From the seductive opening track, “Lay Your
Body Down,” to the stormy passions of “Pacific Coast Highway”
and the heart-breaking politics of “Mercy Town” and “America The Beautiful,” this collection of story-songs has
already attracted attention overseas, where Netherlands reviewer Johan Schoenmakers of Alt Country Forum
called it “a timeless album.”
“On first listening to Britta Lee Shain’s new CD… I was surprised that it was her first. World class songwriting
combined with a beautiful and haunting voice, Britta folds you into her world of the scratch and scrabble
landscape driving through harsh places, only to rise above with a sparkle – all the more bright from the
journey.” JOYCE WOODSON, winner, Will Rogers Academy of Western Artists “Best Female Performer,”
and Western Music Association “Song of the Year”
