Personnel includes: Laura Veirs (vocals, guitar, banjo, bass, mbira); Eyvind Kang (viola, fiddle); Steve Moore (piano, organ, trombone, celeste); Tucker Martine (drums, percussion, sound effects).
Recorded in Seattle, Washington.
The songs on TROUBLED BY THE FIRE, Seattle singer-songwriter Laura Veirs's third full-length album, are looser and more atmospheric that her previous work. The foundation is still Americana with an alternative tilt, but producer Tucker Martine creates a more layered sound and Veirs takes more liberties in her phrasings. The lyrics, as well, are more evocative and less narrative than on her previous album, THE TRIUMPHS & TRAVAILS OF ORPHAN MAE. But fans of Veirs's previous work won't be disappointed--the new direction serves only to highlight a wonderful voice and a talented songwriter.
