This Life
Susan Greenbaum is one of the most intelligent and literate songwriters to emerge in recent years. Insightful lyrics coupled with her powerful yet nimble vocals make hers a voice poised for national attention. On THIS LIFE, her first nationally distributed release, Susan delivers a set of 12 catchy originals as striking for their lyric depth and smart turns of phrase as their harmonic sophistication. Stand out tracks include the certain-to-be-covered “Big”, the emotionally-charged “This Life”, a letter in song to her brother whose untimely passing inspired her career change, and “Here I Go”, an uplifting gospel song featuring the Nashville-based gospel quartet, The Settles Connection. Throughout the album, Susan is accompanied by some of Nashville’s finest players including guitarist George Marinelli (Bonnie Raitt), Stuart Duncan (fiddle), Mark T Jordon (piano) and bassists Alison Prestwood (Shawn Colvin) and Todd Phillips (Joan Baez).
