The Cambridge Cowgirl (mini-album)

When I write for guitar, I create specific musical statements, and I like them to have space so they don’t get buried under voices and other instruments. And the vocal blend that Cindy and I have is a delicate thing: I do not want to cover it up. So here, as on “Home Isn’t Home”, is my one guitar, and Cindy and me singing a single track each.

And drums and bass when really needed (wait: what is happening to my precious concept?). Oh, yes: I also include one more musician per song to add color: pedal steel on “Worthy” and “Cambridge Cowgirl”, and banjo on “Just Listen”. Within this (smallish?) palette, we make things as huge as possible.

But, if you attend a live show, just our single voices and my guitar create the same vibe. So maybe my concept works after all!

“Cambridge Cowgirl” is a mini-album. You can download it, and I also have ‘not-full-length’ CDs available for CD loving folks. Just email me at marklemairemusic@gmail.com.
