Nancy Bryan - Neon Angel '2000

Tracks list

	Los Angeles singer/songwriter Nancy Bryan offers in Neon Angel, her second APO
release, social commentary with intense soul.

Bryan’s honesty in her approach to song writing has created a stylization that
defies category. Neon Angel is a unique and personal body of work. In it, her
lyrics are visual and socially relevant, yet intimate, poetic and immediate. Her
music ranges from the ethereal to a plaintive earthiness, and at times both
expressions are grasped in the same moment. This recording is as classic and as
powerful as Joni Mitchell’s legendary Blue.

The setting for Nancy’s songs is specific, yet timeless. Blame It On The Moon
is a Southern swamplife spiritual sung against an undulating bass line. Pulse
and Time is as light as whipped cream in the confluence of dobro, ukulele and
D-tuned acoustic guitar. And you can almost see the cold blue November sky
behind a silhouette of skyscrapers in the melancholy Chicago Skyline and feel
the singer’s loneliness as her soaring vocals cry out for an irredeemable
past.

Neon Angel was recorded live, direct-to-two-track at Blue Heaven Studios, the
converted 77-year-old church in Salina, Kansas. This 13-song, all-acoustic album
emphasizes the church’s natural acoustics, bringing to life the massive,
vaulted ceiling and Nancy on the altar.

Though this is only her second solo release, Nancy has won acclaim for several
songs she’s written and sung for Disney, including a track for the
Grammy-nominated and now-gold record Take My Hand. Her songs have also appeared
on MTV’s popular shows The Real World and Road Rules.

Every track on this record is naked and essential and is an equally integral
part of a brilliant mosaic.
