Contact Info: Rebecca Koetting RebeccaKoet@hotmail.com In debuting her first album, the Austin Sessions, the singer-songwriter captures a folk-rock/alt. country flavor with such songs as Your Place or Mine and the Sweetest Sorrow. The 11-song album, written primarily during a summerlong stay in Europe and recorded as the result of a road trip, instills a feeling of addictions to love and forward motion. This passionate songwriter combines poetic lyrics with a melodic simplicity that is often forgotten in today's popular music. The result is an original, yet classic sound. You won't catch Rebecca wailing out cheesy cover songs at any of her gigs. For her it's just straight-up American song writing, with songs like Wildflowers. The song, written after a 28-hour car ride from Texas to NY, is the closing track to the album. The lyrics tell the story of Lady Bird Johnson's Make America Beautiful Campaign: "Spread Wildflower seeds, Wherever you go. Gonna Make the Flowers grow." Combine that with a droning bass line and it shows the contrast of the beauty of the open road and the feeling that the road will never end. She's been playing out solo and with a varitey of line ups. Her ever changing set list combines freshly written material and influences such as Lucinda Williams and Carole King, with an array of standards. Her live shows capture the way music is suppost to be done, honest and real. Track List: 1. Fly Free 2. Hush 3. Your Place or Mine 4. Sweetest Sorrow 5. Take It Easy 6. Affection 7. Promises 8. Amsterdam 9. 3-11 Vibration 10. It'll Be Alright 11. Wildflowers Suggested CDs:Other Genres:
