Juliana Hatfield is one of
America’s foremost uncompromising indie/pop/rock
musician-songwriters. She has a vast, well-respected
discography spanning nearly twenty years, from her first
band (college radio favorites the Blake Babies) through her
Atlantic Records solo modern-rock hits (“My Sister”, “Spin
The Bottle”) and continuing with her prolific twenty-first
century output, which includes the wicked-cool Some Girls
(Hatfield, Freda Love, and Heidi Gluck) side project.
On “Sittin’ In A Tree…”,
Hatfield takes her distinctive, iconic, melodic voice and
comes together with alt/country newcomers Frank Smith
(“Boston’s answer to the Band or Magnolia Electric Co.” –The
Boston Phoenix). Frank Smith, with their rootsy rock,
bring Hatfield into territory she has never explored before.
Banjos, pedal steel, and alternately rollicking and noir-ish
guitars and keyboards blend and bounce off of each other in
this eclectic 6-song EP collection of Hatfield compositions.
Think of Gram Parsons dancing with the Go-Go’s. Or envision
the love children of REM and Liz Phair, with Nick Cave and
Gillian Welch as the godparents.
