Traci Rae Letellier is a female singer/songwriter hailing from
Arkansas who unites the old with the new - the raw with the
ethereal. Her crystal vocals and artistic arrangements have
earned her a loyal fan-base. Her two independently released
recordings explore her musical roots as a Southerner with
Celtic ancestry.
Elegies (2005)
Recorded in periodic sessions between 2002 and 2004 - the 2005
independent release, Elegies, is influenced by southern,
Appalachian, Celtic, folk and blues musical traditions. It
features six original songs by Letellier, including, "Autumn
Song," "Misery Girl," "Rest Your Head, Love," "Minus Ab
Angelis," and the bluesy, "To: Adam, Love: Eve."
A poem by the Jazz-Age poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay, makes a
guest appearance to the backdrop of an original tune by
Letellier. An instrumental collaboration by brach and
Letellier acts as album interlude. Look for a handful of
traditional tunes to round out the melancholy line-up,
including the Civil War era songs, "Southern Soldier Boy" and
"Johnny Is Gone For A Soldier," American spiritual, "Poor
Wayfaring Stranger," and Southern folk hymn, "Jesus, Lover Of
My Soul."
