About the Artist
Connecticut-based Sweetbird is comprised of singer-songwriter Christine Yandell and guitarist-composer Steve Waite. Weaving an eclectic musical tapestry that eludes conventional labels, Sweetbird melds influences from folk, pop, rock and country to produce a unique sound that has an innocence and richness seldom heard today. Christine’s songwriting is introspective and her voice has been described as “beautiful,” “clear,” and “natural.” They are a perfect complement to Steve’s lyrical songwriting and distinctive fingerpicking guitar style. Sweetbird released their debut record, “Free Spirit Reflection” during the Summer of 2003 on Broadband Records, an independent Connecticut-based label. The album was recorded and co-produced by Grammy-nominated artist Paul Avgerinos, at Studio Unicorn, in Redding Connecticut. The record includes ten original compositions plus a cover of Nick Drake’s inspired song, “From The Morning.” Backed by a talented rhythm section, Sweetbird’s “Free Spirit Reflection” features the work of pedal steel virtuoso John Widgren, drummer Ron Nihoff, lap steel guitarist Roger Filgate (Wishbone Ash), bassist Paul Avgerinos, and Steve Negri on fiddle.
Product Description
Sweetbird's “Soul Fire” is a sonic treasure chest filled with lyrical melodies, luscious harmonies, and beautiful arrangements. The record is a worthy follow up to the band's debut release "Free Spirit Reflection." Singer-songwriter Christine Yandell and guitarist-composer Steve Waite are backed by a host of world-class musicians on Soul Fire, which includes nine original compositions and two cover tunes, including a magical rendition of Emerson, Lake & Palmer's "Still... You Turn Me On." Soul Fire features a horn section that includes trumpeter Don Harris (Tower of Power, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion, James Taylor) and saxophonist Joe Meo. The record also features pedal steel guitar virtuoso John Widgren, pianist Nick Bariluk, and drummer Matt Moadel. The record was co-produced by Grammy-nominated composer Paul Avgerinos, who also played bass, cello, and keyboards on the record. Soul Fire was mastered by Michael Fossenkemper at Turtle Tone ! Studio in NYC.

Sweetbird has a beautiful sound and an ethereal folk sound. "October's Child" is an excellent track. If you are looking for something positive, calming and contemplative, Soul Fire is the album for you.

I was not familiar with any music by Sweetbird but I listened to the song samples on amazon and enjoyed what I heard so I purchased the CD. I really enjoy listening to Sweetbird and the lyrics. October's Child is my favorite song. The music is more on the lines of folk music and I would recommend this music CD to anyone who likes folk music.
