Until very recently I'd not heard of Brigitte DeMeyer. A friend told me of her music. Gorgeous songs, a beautiful and nuanced soulfully country edged voice, a batch of killer musicians including stellar guitar work by Chris Rossbach (who is in his own D'Amphibians band and plays with my drum hero, Mr Joseph Zigaboo Modeliste!) and Mike Marshall is just icing on this absolutely delicious cake. I love americana, so-called alt.country, y'all ternative and folk --- this ranks up right there with most of what I've been listening to the last few years. Go hear Brigitte live if you get a chance, and BUY THIS excellent self-produced effort, "Another Thousand Miles". I love "We're All Going In", "Sycamore Sadie" and "Horse Hunk" with its lead in by Rossbach, truly blazing, reminiscent of the lead in to "Devil in Disguise" by the Flying Burrito Brothers. I'm giving this a 5 out of 5, to keep this record perfect. YOU go listen to it and try to give it a 4!! All 8 of the tunes are great. I put it on for the first time ever this a.m. and listened to it, I think, twelve times straight through! You go girl!!!!!! Mike Emerson on sweet piana, Paul Olguin on bass, Greg Thomas on drums round out the Brigitte DeMeyer band, and a helluva a band it is. Hey, where can I see this really cool songwriter live??? Why didn't anyone tell me about her before. I'd compare her to someone, but I guess she is uniquely Brigitte DeMeyer.

Brigitte Demeyer's music is like a bowl of hot, spicey chili... good down home rhythms with an edge.

If you are hungry for some new sounds... check out her new release. You'll love it.

Brigitte Rocks!!! A great debut album! I look forward to adding more of her music to my collection as soon as its available. She's got an expressive, soulful voice and a great poetic songwriting talent. These, in addition to her own musical prowess and group of great musicians make for a special treat.

Brigitte's voice is very soulful and expressive. The music and lyrics are both fun and meaningful. The musicianship is superb. Another Thousand Miles is a tremendous success!
