Details:
On House of Secrets, New Orleans native Leigh Harris brilliantly explores her hometown''s love of melodic song and dramatic presentation, turning what might otherwise be a folk-oriented set of emotion-laden originals and cleverly chosen covers into a light-down-low, saloon singer''s delight. A prime example is her take on "Backstreet Girl" from the Rolling Stones'' songbook, opening with only vocal and piano as the arrangement adds layers selectively, first form a pair of accordions, then a vocal chorus, finally building to a peak of full-bodied intensity briefly, before letting it all wash away. The effect is haunting, reminiscent of a French cabaret singer....Casting herself in the surprising, and wholly satisfying, role of a Delta version of Edith Piaf, Harris offers us one of the year''s most inventive tributes to the power of song and a new appreciation for the richness of New Orleans'' musical legacy.
