Addi McDaniel - After the News (2019) [Hi-Res]

On her captivating solo debut, 'After The News,' McDaniel points her search inwards, channeling the pain of loss and regret into a transformative work of beauty and strength that blurs the lines between roots, blues, soul, and jazz. Hailed as "a dynamo with a brass-plated voice" by the LA Times, McDaniel is both an extraordinary singer and a gifted interpreter of song, and 'After The News' finds her breathing vivid life into a raft of original songs from collaborator Tom Siering, whose material she deftly pairs with covers of tracks by Andrew Bird and Bruce Cockburn to form a broader tale of mortality and acceptance, grief and forgiveness.
