THE BEST OF JONI MITCHELL Thursday, May 20, 2004 Thur 27 May, 9pm The Basement 29 Reiby Place, Circular Quay Tickets $20. Bookings, ph: 92512797 or online: www.thebasement.com.au The timeless relevance of the music of legendary Canadian musician/composer/artist Joni Mitchell is undoubtedly one of the reasons why her songs have endured from one generation to the next... and now the next. Four years ago, a group of my truly talented “chick singer” friends (Tania Bowra, Kristen Cornwell, Robyne Dunn, Rachel Gaudry, Sarah McGregor) and I produced a tribute that packed the Basement and, in fact, had people queuing around the block. Not surprisingly, the venue has been wanting us to reprise the show ever since. So we're back - with a superb band I might add, performing songs from the albums Ladies Of the Canyon, For The Roses, Blue, Court and Spark, Hejira, Wild Things Run Fast, Hissing of Summer Lawns, Night Ride Home, Both Sides Now and beyond. I will be singing Help Me, Chinese Cafe, Snakes & Ladders (a duet with the inimitable Brydon Stace) and the version of “A Case of You” found on her first orchestral release “Both Sides Now”. I am very happy to say that for “A Case Of You” I will be accompanied by the awesome Bill Risby who will be screaming from another gig to be there on time to play just for me (won’t you Bill). The show is going to be recorded for ABC Live on Stage which is very exciting. For Joni Mitchell fans, and for anyone who loves great music, this performance is a must....

LOUISE IS STILL IN THE TOP 20 RADIO SHOWS AT SOUL-PATROL.NET RADIO Thursday, May 20, 2004 I’m not sure if y’all know how soul patrol net radio works... so if you don’t here’s the drum. The good thing about this kind of net radio is that these programmes are recorded and can be accessed and downloaded at any time. There are some fantastic things to listen to - it’s not just about playing the music - the shows are really well researched and contain so much information it’s like going back to school!!!. There’s one show just out on Stevie Wonder which is sure to be a hugely popular show. So, I’m still in the Top 20 and have been since January - a good sign. If you haven’t visited www.soul-patrol.net then you should do so right now. ALOOGA BOOM! Thursday, May 20, 2004 A new internet indiemusic-show called "ALOOGA BOOM" is born via www.alooga.de out of Sinzig, Germany and I am very proud to be on the very first playlist. A shout-out to DJ Ottic who found “whisper my name” on the net and asked if he could play it - but, of course. Check it out at http://www.alooga.de "PLAY YOUR GAME" IS QUALITY CREAM at www.soulexpress.net Thursday, April 15, 2004 The "Quality Time Cream Cuts Chart" is a listing of the classiest album tracks of the week! Updated weekly, see below how "Play Your Game" is fairing for April 3, 2004. You will recall that www.soulexpress.net is a site out of Finland. My friend, Ismo, tells me that my album is selling well out of a tiny shop in central Helsinki, which is open only on Saturdays - for just 4 hours a week! He emailed me with the news that "I've played your CD to many shop visitors - they have been amazed when I've told them that this is a white lady from Australia - if the client likes music of Anita Baker, Phyllis Hyman, she/he likes your music, too!" He adds, "Suprisingly, we have had also feedback from U.S. and even from Caribbean Islands - requesting your CD after we have introduced it as our album of the month in Soul Express online!" They are also featuring me in their hard copy magazine, available only to subscribers, in an in-depth interview due out any moment now. How cool is that! Music makes the world go round!

This site comes out of the Flemish speaking part of Belgium. All I can tell you is that the site looks great and my review shares a page with the likes of Norah Jones and Quincy Jones and Sky! You can visit the site at www.keysandchords.com if you are fluent in Dutch!! The Review Louise Perryman from Australia is not known in these parts. Some of us will categorize her as R&B, others as neo soul, or pop with a jazzy touch. Louise transcends all those musical boundaries and she does her own thing. In the USA she is called, “The white woman with the black voice” and with the release of her 4th album, she now gets the attention of soul lovers around the world. She co-wrote all the songs and has a clear voice. The title track has a mid-tempo, while ‘Play Your Game’ sounds rather relaxed as a quiet storm. ‘Everybody Need A Little Love’ is more up-tempo and ‘Stay’ is a powerful ballad. One of the highlights is ‘Thinkin’ Too Much’, which was elected by the Australian Songwriter’s Association as R&B Song of the Year. And then it’s time for the wonderful ballad ‘Prayer For You’. ‘This Is Heaven’ breathes a smooth jazz atmosphere and the album finishes with ‘You Can’t Stop Me Now’, which leans towards pop. Louise sounds sometimes soulful, sometimes full of energy and sometimes smooth as silk. She is really an artist who deserves to be internationally known. The album was produced by co-songwriter Kere Buchanan, and is for sale on her homepage. - Patrick Van de Wiele "WHISPER MY NAME" IS FEATURED ALBUM AT www2earfm.com Thursday, April 15, 2004 Hooray - some Australian airplay! Cheers to Ross Ward for his continuing support. Ross posted his OWN COPY from Byron to Eurobodalla so that Tony Jaggers could hear it. It worked Ross - thanks mate! "Whisper My Name" was featured album on Tony's show, "Mojos and Jellyrolls", at Eurobodalla 107.5 - a great show with an ALL AUSSIE PLAYLIST! I was in great company with the likes of The Waifs, Bondi Cigars, Phil Manning, Ray Beadle, Kevin Borich, Ross Ward and more. 107.5's main signal is broadcast to the Eurobodalla area, however it has been known to reach as far north as Milton, south as Bega and west as Braidwood. Tony has his own copy to play from now on! MY NEW LOOK WEBSITE Wednesday, March 3, 2004 A thousand thankyous to the glorious talents of Katie Cordes for the new look - it is a long process and gradually we will be adding to the site. Visit www.katiecordes.com to see just how amazing Katie is! Keep checking for new photos and sounds and news. Let us know what you think. We would be happy to receive your feedback.

MY NAME IS ALBUM OF THE MONTH FOR
MARCH 2004 at www.soulexpress.net "Whisper My Name" is Album of the Month for March 2004 for www.soulexpress.net! www.soulexpress.net
is one of the leading modern soul portals in the world. A
very special thank you to both reviewer, Barry Towler, and Ismo
Tenkanen for getting behind the album! Louise Perryman hails from Australia - a place not noted for anything other than Rock music - and drops a musical bombshell of 8 scorching tracks sizzling with soul, jazz, and pure sass. This fine lady has a great set of tonsils too, and from the offset you know that Louise is in complete control of her ability, her songs and works in tight yet loose, synchronisation with her musicians, all of which do a fine job. If you are not sold on this CD within the opening dozen bars or so of track one "Whisper My Name" then I suggest you go buy some cotton wool buds. The slinky, early 80s feel to this midtempo guitar laced track will hit you right in the quality zone of your tastebuds and why i have not heard this on quality radio I really do not know. I love the funky guitar licks over the compulsive lead guitar. Worth every penny for this song alone. "Play Your Game" drops the tempo and has a real Khani Cole edge to it - think also of the Cynthia Biggs project but with more 'real instruments' then you are part way there. Raising the tempo and slotting in some 70s organ is the refreshing "Everybody Need A Little Love". For lovers of quality MOR based tunes will soak up "Stay" which will have a very broad appeal beyond the sometimes narrow soul / jazz boundaries. Songs like this are nicely transcendental purely for being clean, uncomplicated, well executed and immaculately delivered. This is a classy, classy song, simply put. Funkier, more fluid arrangements and bluesier guitars follow up this laid back moment and facilitate Louise's smooth, creamy vocals to drape over the beats; the scat is very good indeed too. "Prayer For You" is another track that I could imagine having a home on quality adult US radio, the guitar again is superb, even though this is not my favourite song. That said, this CD demonstrates that Louise's qualities are not so easy to pidgeon-hole or define. Moving swiftly from soulful expression to jazzier asides and reflective, quality US MOR moments this lovely Lady is inviting as much praise as she possibly can. I have no problem with this - and I think that many readers who are strictly soul fans or jazz-fusion fans will all find something to celebrate on "Whisper My Name". Again, a winner for me is the gentle "This Is Heaven"; airy, floaty and quality. A racy, jazzy and tentatively funky song called "You Can't Stop Me Now" closes the lid on this CD - and is very good indded with its brassy horns and slight pop leaning. A mixed set that will have wide appeal, a foundation in quality soulful jazz but with a few musical fingers in a few plums. Log onto CD Baby and check it out. Do not miss this CD. - Barry Towler (The Lowdown, Soul Express) REVIEW – FEBRUARY 2004 CHRIS RIZIK at www.soultracks.com Thursday, February 5, 2004 Here's the very latest review folks! Needless to say I am also thrilled with this one. Soul Tracks is a leading site that is "tracking the world's greatest soul music." It includes artist bios, "where are they now" features on classic soul stars, and introductions to great modern soul artists. It features great artists like Patti Austin, Anita Baker, George Benson, Peabo Bryson, Bobby Caldwell, Donny Hathaway, Lalah Hathaway, India.Arie, James Ingram, Frank McComb, Michael McDonald, Smokey Robinson and Bill Withers. …And great soul outfits like Average White Band, Commodores, Four Tops, Isley Brothers, O'Jays, Spinners, Stylistics, Tavares and Temptations. Soul Express Magazine has recently referred to the site as “a highly recommended soul site especially for lovers of classy 70s and 80s soul music and classy modern soul vocalists." If you love soul music, you really should pay a visit to www.soutracks.com The Review Sometimes, it pays to open your email. My most pleasant surprise so far this year was hearing in January from Louise Perryman, a gifted pop/soul vocalist from Australia who is getting some attention in Soul Music circles due to her new release, Whisper My Name. Perryman has been labeled "The white woman with the black voice." Well, I don't know what color she sounds like, but it's one that I like. From the moment I put Whisper in my CD player, her deep, husky alto wrapped itself around song (and me) and didn't let go. Perryman's voice is most often compared to Anita Baker, and there is truth to that comparison. I think a closer match may be Kathy Troccoli, another underrated deep-voiced singer, though Perryman's delivery and material are richer and much more soulful. Perryman began as a viola player and studied at the Elder Conservatorium of Music in Southern Australia. Though afterward she took a job in business, she continued to pursue her musical dreams in the evening and worked to develop her songwriting skills. She ultimately moved to Sydney to focus on music full time. Her first release was 1999's Come on-a My House, followed by 2000's Nowhere Near Eleven, an acoustic CD, and The Painter and the Bird, an album of covers. Though it is her fourth album, Whisper My Name should finally introduce this talented artist to Soul Music audiences around the world. Beginning with the midtempo title track, Whisper is like a great trip back to the sophisticated pop/soul of the mid to late 80s, the "nouveau soul" period that brought us great acts from Anita Baker to Everything But the Girl and a period where pop, soul and smooth jazz could co-exist in an amalgamated form. It is nearly impossible to find a recent disc that attempts to straddle the adult pop/soul border, much less one that handles it as effectively as Whisper. It is a true throwback -- a late night album for adults that relies more on melodies and expressive vocal performance than on attitude or studio trickery. For Whisper, Perryman has brought together a crack band of local Australian musicians who provide a solid but restrained backdrop for her vocal performance. She also proves herself a fine songwriter, co-penning all eight songs. Best of all, though talent surrounds Perryman on the disc, the centerpiece remains where it should -- her wonderful, clear voice. At just over 42 minutes, Whisper is a bit short, but it has no filler and has a number of high points. "Play Your Game" is a worthy successor to Baker's "Talk To Me," and, along with the title cut, may be the album's most soulful number. Much of the disc features more adult pop oriented tracks, including the ballads "Stay" and "Prayer For You," both nice cuts that are made better by Perryman's performance. And the 7-minute smoky ballad "This Is Heaven" feels like a live, 2 a.m. nightclub performance. I truly hope that there is an audience for Whisper My Name. At a time when the apparently simple combination of great tunes, restrained arrangements and a clear strong voice seems an anomaly, it is a very welcome anomaly, and one that I can highly recommend to lovers of classy, melodic soul music. LOUISE IS TOPS AT THE 2003 SOUL-PATROL AWARDS January 12, 2004 www.soul-patrol.com has just announced its Top 5 New Artists for 2003 and its Top 20 New Releases for 2003 and guess what? WHAT? I was one of only 3 artists who made it into both lists. In the Top 20 there are names like Marvin Gaye, Marcus Miller, Tower of Power, Barry White, The Temptations ...and then there in good ol' Lou from Sydney, NSW! All jokes aside, I am so proud to be included in this list. www.soul-patrol.com is an information, news gathering and educational series of internet resources focused on covering black music and culture of the last 50 years and is the largest black-owned internet site of its type reaching an impressive 500,000 soul music fans per month. It's overall theme is "Great Black Music From The Ancient To The Future" and it's objective is to provide an alternative to commercial radio stations covering not only well known black artists and events, but also artists who are "beneath the radar" as they put it. One of the reasons why "whisper my name" was chosen is that I am considered to be one of the "new artists who are 'going against the grain' to try and extend OUR music into the future." (OUR music being black music) What a compliment. They have done a radio special on my cd, "whisper my name", which is fabulous, and also featured me in a radio show for the Top 5. Below is the info you will need to find out more. So there are a couple of things you can do if you are interested. Don’t be afraid about download times - it takes less than a minute! 1.
