Dyann Woody Releases Debut Solo Album My Softer Side
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nashville, TN--October 3, 2005--Who knew that this
country singer was really a closet chanteuse? Dyann Woody makes
a seamless transition from 'Yee Haw' to 'Ooh La La'. She not
only has the voice of an angelic siren, but what will amaze you
even more is just how easy and pleasing her music is to listen
to. She reaches across many genres and meshes elements of '70's
singer/songwriter style, jazz, blues and pop with the art of a
well-crafted lyric.
Although this is Dyann's first solo album, she has shared
musical success with her husband as part of the Country Music
Group, The Woodys. Their debut album on Rounder Records went #1
on the Americana charts; they were voted the Top County Vocal
Duo at the International Music News Awards and have received
worldwide critical acclaim for all three of their albums.
However, there was still a part of Dyann that was musically
unfulfilled. She wanted to write songs that expressed all of the
emotions and experiences that she and other women have had in
their lives in relationship to men. Dyann also wanted to use the
full range of her voice bringing into play the years that she
studied voice, classical music and jazz.
So, inspired by Norah Jones record, Come Fly Away, Dyann
felt her time had come. She began writing songs for her own
album drawing from earlier musical influences of the artists she
loved like Billy Holliday and Bonnie Raitt. My Softer
Side is a soulful and heartfelt musical offering that not
only highlights great songwriting but her sweet & sultry vocals
along with the stellar talents of Rick Vito (Bonnie Raitt,
Fleetwood Mac), Barry Walsh (Shania Twain), Dave
Pomeroy (Trisha Yearwood) and Steve Turner (Emmylou
Harris, Dolly Parton). Dyann's very talented husband,
Michael Woody, not only co-produced the album but played trumpet
on it as well. He oversaw the entire project and brought to bear
his expertise in songwriting (he is a #1 ASCAP songwriter) and
encouraged Dyann's Softer Side to be expressed through her
singing. Pat Hutchinson of Warner Chappell Studios put the final
icing on the cake as associate producer and engineer.
"I have to admit, I loved this album, every single song. Now
how often do you hear someone say that? I would be willing to
bet, not nearly enough. This CD is the most down to earth and
real expression of artistry you will ever find in recorded
music." - Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck-MuzikReviews.com
