Carrie Tree — The Kitchen Table [2009]

           Carrie Tree — The Kitchen Table
Θ→  Music to feed the heart..
Θ→  Self-funded and self-released in 2009, co produced with Matt Tweed and Phil Dale, this is Carrie’s debut album. Recorded in various kitchens and homes around the UK it is a patch work quilt of tender songs amidst colourful yet subtle instrumentation, written on travels across the world from UK to India, Australia, California, Ireland and Greece.
Θ→  I love Carrie Tree... Her voice, her music, her energy is so joyful, sweet, loving... I want her to sing for me in the morning when I wake up... In the afternoon on a rainy day and when I feel tiered or down. Her music brings me in touch with my feelings and what is really here, straight away.

They have become dear friends through the years, and I feel honoured to have their touch and sound on these recordings.
