On
their independent debut album, “City Of Grey”, The Savannah
Leigh Band creates a mood reflective of their west-coast home of
Vancouver. The music captures the beauty of a rainy afternoon; contemplative,
yet full of life. Acoustic guitars, stand up bass and drums create
the heart of sound, which is ornamented with touches of organ, cello,
lap steel and pedal steel guitars, along with an assortment of percussion.
Savannah’s vocals dip from sweet highs to sultry lows, with
an emotion that’s honest without being forced. The raw honesty
in her lyrics speak of a sensitive and observant soul. The album
was produced by Vancouver artist Winston, and recorded at the legendary
Mushroom studios. There they utilized vintage gear, antique guitars,
and analog tape to create a warm, intimate sounding album. Says
Herohill.com, “The four piece stretches the expectations of
the roots scene…all in all, the record reads like a good book”.
