TEENAGER is a collection of songs Jane Siberry wrote in her teens, and recorded in 1996.
Personnel: Jane Siberry (vocals, guitar, piano); Rebecca Campbell (vocals); Peter Kiesewalter (accordion).
Recorded at Reaction Studios, Toronto, Canada. Includes liner notes by Jane Siberry.
One of the oddest records in Jane Siberry's oddball career--so unusual that Siberry explains the album's genesis in a spoken introduction--TEENAGER is a collection of songs that the Toronto-based singer-songwriter wrote in her early to mid-teens, during the late '60s and early '70s. It's the first album Siberry released on her own after leaving a critically acclaimed but commercially negligible stint at Warner Brothers, and perhaps some closet cleaning was due.
Inevitably, the songs most recall her self-titled 1981 debut, the most folk-oriented album of her career, which is a good thing. Also inevitably, the lyrics sound like they were written by a sensitive and artistic teenager, and that's not necessarily a good thing. For every line of surprising wisdom or wit, there's another that's just pathetically wet. However, aside from a few droll comments between songs, Siberry treats the songs with respect and affection.
