Harper, Rochelle
Lilt
Andalusia, Alabama is famous for two things: Hank Williams got married at the Andalusia Texaco, and it was in Andalusia that a fella named Jess Dixon built a flying car....that's about it. Now a third notable event can be added: It is the birthplace of Rochelle Harper. Rochelle's first nationally released album, Lilt, is full of performances from acclaimed musicians like Randall Bramblett (Steve Winwood/Widespread Panic), Sean O'Bryan Smith (Lady Antebellum/ Billy Joel), Blair Shotts (The Roots/ Rhianna), Jeff Franzel (Shawn Colvin/Dianne Reeves) and produced by acclaimed RCA Victor guitarist/producer Joe Taylor. As her many fans along the Gulf Coast already know, Rochelle weaves a tale in the best tradition of the great Southern storytellers, while delivering it with the same fire and grace as Lucinda and Emmylou.
