Release Notes:
Raised in a remote part of Montana along the Assiniboine Sioux
reservation, Stacy witnessed the vastness and beauty of a harsh
land and the enduring people that live in it. Her music tells the
tales of the people she grew up with and the people she met on her
journey from the buffalo pastures of home, through Boston, Chicago
and finally...to New York City. Her songs, voice and piano weave
sepia toned tales of human nature and it's brave ability to be
ugly. One Way Home, Stacy's first full length album, flips like
an eleven chapter adult coloring book.
Pursuing an organic and classic feel, Stacy and producer Duane
Lundy decided to keep many of her first takes, capturing true
sponteniety and honesty in ways today's over-production fails to
do, even detuning the piano on some of the tracks. Backed by
members of Lexington, Kentucky's The Scourge of the Sea and The
Apparitions, the album's spacious arrangements sound faithful to
one coherent band and not entirely different than Stacy playing
solo. The result is a modern classic.
Many of the songs have some type of solitary element ... a
lonliness, spoken from above and below the grave, but with a seed
of hope. There are also songs about growing, becoming an adult,
and all the fears, regrets and disappointments that go along with
it while never losing the childlike hopes. Nothing Has Changed -
"all the businessmen that came into the Monkey Bar, my first job
in NYC, talking fast and heatedly about money, reminded me of the
boys trading Star Wars figures...that seemed just as important at
the time, but nobody felt like their life was being ruined or
falling apart...well, I guess we sort of did...but no kid was
going to jump off a building because he didn't get Yoda".
