- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
The Grizzly Owls became inspired by their grandparent's journey from Oklahoma
to Bakersfield, California during the Dust Bowl migration. Keeping in
tradition with their Dust Bowl roots, the Grizzly Owls looked to the
originators of the ''Bakersfield Sound'' (country legends such as Buck Owens
and Merle Haggard) for role models. The Grizzly Owls are Jenny Andreotti
(vocals, harmonica, and percussion) and Joseph Andreotti (guitar, bass,
percussion, piano, and keys). The Andreotti's have been married for four
years, and have been making music together for seven. After years of
struggling with other musical projects, the Andreotti's are confident that
they have mastered ''The Grizzly Owls Sound'' with their debut "By Night on
My Bed."
"By Night on My Bed", the Grizzly Owls self-released full-length debut, is
the closest the Andreotti's have come to making their initial musical vision
a reality. The record was influenced by such greats as Nick Cave and the Bad
Seeds, Tom Waits, Lee Hazelwood, Nancy Sinatra, Leonard Cohen, Raymond
Carver, Henry David Thoreau, the spaghetti westerns of the 1960s, and all of
the French new-wave films of Jean-Luc Godard. By Night on My Bed was recorded
at the Dust Bowl by Joseph Andreotti and recorded, mixed, and mastered at Red
Rockets Glare by Raymond Richards (The Idaho Falls, Mojave 3, The Brian
Jonestown Massacre, Hope Sandoval and The Warm Inventions). The
multi-talented Richards also contributed pedal steel guitar, baritone guitar,
and vibraphone to the recordings. The Andreotti's (along with the help from
Richards) have produced a whimsical record full of tales about death, lust,
love, and obsession.
