Love & Pain
Produced by the artist, along with Calum MacColl (Kirtsy's brother) and Martyn Barker (Shriekback), 'Love
and Pain' lovingly draws from a variety of musical forces: blues, pop, rock, jazz, soul and electronic. It is the perfect landscape for Morris' Southern Comfort - hued voice- which brings to mind Janis Joplin by way of Alison Moyet, Shara Nelson and Macy Gray. And her voice shines in these tales of life and love - all of which she co-penned. Highlights include the sassy 'Mad Woman Blues', the soaring' Arms Of An Angel', the Lisa Stansfield-shaded 'Nothing Comes From Nothing' and the heartfelt 'Fields of Wheat'. Throughout, Morris' independent spirit reigns supreme. 'It's Jesus I Love/But It's the Devil! Need Tonight,' she acknowledges on 'It's Jesus I Love'. On 'A Horse Named Janis Joplin' Morris sees herself in the late singer.
Consider 'Love and Pain' one 'pearl' of an album.
