Release Notes:

From the old-style microphone and classic styling on
the album cover û reminiscent of kd lang in her
Elvis phase û through to her inspired arrangements
of a dozen classic songs (plus one original), Erin
McKeown obviously had great fun with Sing You
Sinners. Of course, anyone who's seen her supporting
the likes of Josh Rouse and The Be Good Tanyas in
recent times already knows that McKeown is a born
entertainer and a wiz of a guitarist, but this shows
another side to her musical talents. She's explored
her collection of favourite tunes from Broadway, Tin
Pan Alley and the silver screen, and gets the party
started with an irrepressible version of Get Happy,
infused with the joyous spirit of Judy Garland.

She's clearly studied her favourite performers û
from Fred Astaire and Anita O'Day to Gene Krupa and
Nat King Cole û and quite rightly pays homage to the
cream of songwriters like Cole Porter, Fats Waller
and Johnny Mercer. But she then puts all of that to
one side to reinvent each song in her own unique and
engaging fashion. Who'd have thought that rockabilly
would work with Thanks For The Boogie Ride, that
Just One Of Those Things would sound so wonderful
when slowed down or that Paper Moon would wear the
clothes of calypso so comfortably?

As she produced the whole album herself, you could
say this was a genuinely personal project û and you
can hear that Erin McKeown and her band had an
absolute ball!
