Editorial Reviews

Soon after finishing her acclaimed 2008 album Apple Tree, Colorado-born, Nashville based singer-songwriter Katie Herzig received a fateful phone call. "I sat down to paint one da I hadn't painted in years then I got a call asking me to write a song for the Sex and the City movie," she says. "So I put down my paintbrush and haven't painted since!"What she did instead, as one assignment led to another, was write music for numerous films and television shows, and in the process, find a surprising and exciting direction for her new album, The Waking Sleep, her first release on Marion-Lorraine Records/Mercer Street Records. "I was trying new things," says Herzig, "getting outside of what I would normally do as an artist. It was really fun and invigorating to use samples and build tracks digitally. I loved creating like that, and it really allowed me more freedom, because I was doing something less personal, and creating for something else." But there was also no doubt that at some point, this accomplished artist would return to the distinctive, heartfelt material that made her name. After initially fronting the Colorado-based band Newcomers Home, Herzig released her solo debut, Watch Them Fall, in 2004, followed by Weightless two years later. When she relocated to Nashville, she immediately started to catch the attention of her fellow artists and was invited to perform as part of the remarkable new talent showcased on the Hotel Caf‚ and Ten Out of Tenn tours.

5.0 out of 5 stars An album worth buying December 25, 2011
By Amanda
Format:Audio CD
I heard one of her songs in the theater from this album called Midnight Serenade. I loved it and decided to give the rest of the album a chance. I did not think I would love it as much as I do.

I'd recommend it to people who like folksy music. I told my father that he would like it. He's more into folk artists than I am.

I've never heard of this artist before and I'm glad that I was given the chance. Looking forward to hearing other songs from her.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great music for many occasions and moods March 6, 2012
Format:MP3 Music
I first heard Katie Herzig performing with Andrew Bell on a recording for SXSW 2011. I wanted to hear more and I was not disappointed. This alboum impresses me throughout. It fits many different moods. There is fare that seems more light and fun like "Oh My Darlin'" and "Best Days Of Your Life". Then there are the more atmospheric songs like "The Waking Sleep" and "Lost & Found". However, they all carry a complex layering and are a treat to hear.

A great record.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Yet from Katie October 19, 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
With each new CD that Katie brings out she keeps getting better. I loved Apple Tree, but The Waking Sleep is a step above. Less accoustical guitar with more electronic sounds, vocals, and strings. The latter provided in large part by the cello of Claire Indie. There are a number of tracks on this CD like Best Day of Your Life that are just fun and easy to sing along with. Songs like "Make a Noise" and "Lost and Found" have a great full, rich sound to them and I can listen to them over and over.
