Brent is a piano player with an impressive groove anchored by a strong rhythmic left hand and a playful way with the high end of the keyboard. Her vocals are just as strong, with a smoky, sultry feel that often brings to mind Janis Joplin, but a mellower Joplin who doesn't have to strain for the high notes or growl to get her point across. She's also a first-class songwriter, using the blues as a jumping-off place for her ironic musings on the familiar subjects of good times and no-good men. She cut this album in New Orleans and is joined by some remarkable players, including ex-Meter George Porter on bass, producer Colin Linden on guitar, and ace Americana drummer Bryan Owings. Together they romp through a varied program that includes \"Someone to Love,\" a funky you-done-me-wrong rhumba driven by Brent's rolling New Orleans piano and a vocal that dismisses her ex with an offhand elegance; Colin Linden's \"Later Than You Think,\" given a jazzy ragtime treatment with Brent's earthy left hand and Linden's guitar trading solos before she takes off on her own mellow excursion; \"If I Can't,\" a throwback to the '20s played by Brent and Linden with a funky, ragged charm; and a rousing juke-joint take on her own \"Let's Boogie-Woogie,\" a showcase for her impressive piano skills. ~ j. poet","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49113524797727,"sku":"823800171622","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/98b914c3478d39167dc8b7463e130670.jpg?v=1777717420","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/aint-got-no-troubles","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
