Product Description 12 Arrows is a new collection of songs from Judith Owen, recorded as solos, duets, and trios. Working with Vertical Horizons Sean Hurley on bass and the esteemed Herman Matthews (Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston) on drums, Judiths new work is the most dramatic of her career. "Ive never written busy music I like things sparse, and emotionally bare. These recordings push this even further, and Im a better songwriter for it." In recent months, new songs like "Romeo & Juliet," "Some Arrows Go In Deep," and "Youre Not Here Anymore" have emerged as torch songs for those who thought they couldnt be torched any more. About the Artist Judith Owen has been described as one of the "great talents of her generation" by Richard Thompson, with whom she performed this past summer at Joes Pub (part of Richards 1,000 Years of Popular Music). The Welsh-born singer, songwriter and piano player has a witty, theatrical flair that plays perfectly off the deep, emotional nature of her music. The L.A. Times calls Judith "whip-smart and endearing," while Variety Magazine describes her as having "an early Randy Newman charm
shes a rocker and a jazz chanteuse, a charmer and a seducer." The great Van Dyke Parks describes her this way: "Judith Owen - as brutal as Brahms, delicate as Delius, a total refreshment to the high art of Song crafting. Dazzling, stark, light and dark, a totally significant other."
