CD Review: Sundown Till Dawn – Loretta Hagen<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />....

.. ..

I had taken a stack of recent CD submissions to the office to begin the reviewing and cataloguing process.  A big package from Hudson Harding Music included the new Loretta Hagen CD Sundown Till Dawn.  As the disc loaded into the computer, I wandered through the liner notes and web-site, looking at the photos of this new (to me), but well established artist and her band without any idea what to expect.

.. ..

What I got when I opened Sundown Till Dawn was a magnificent voice, tight arrangements, insightful lyrics and a terrific variety of styles, all in 12 well crafted songs.  The supporting cast of musicians is superb and the production is crystal clear, but it’s that wonderful alto that will get you.

.. ..

Sundown Till Dawn is a listening pleasure.  The album supports the diverse writing and singing talents of Ms Hagen, ranging through old school “pure” folk (Longing for Home), blues (School Bus Driver), new country (Mirror Mirror) and lyrical (<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />....Hello.. ..Mountain...., Sundown Till Down).  And yes, you may detect a touch a Mary Chapin Carpenter in some of the selections.

.. ..

You can find out a lot more about ....New Jersey....’s Loretta Hagen at www.lorettahagen.com.  Buy a CD too, if you’re so inclined. They’re available from the website or CD Baby – you won’t regret it.

Loretta Hagen - Sundown Till Dawn
2008 has been good to Loretta Hagen. Twelve self-penned songs for that big, Nashville-style voice to ride on.
Many songs are inspirational and seem directed inward for the singer as well as for the listener. Some, like
"Mirror, Mirror," are so brilliantly conceived lyrically, they seemed destined for one of the Nashville biggies to
pick up and have a monster hit.
"Mirror, mirror, can you bring love back, mirror, mirror, try / Layered teardrops
blur my reflection, mirror, mirror, lie."
Of course, if justice prevails, and the buying public will take to a li'l ol' gal
from New Jersey, Loretta will have the big hit (or two) herself.

Singer and songwriter Loretta Hagen brings her unique tales with twang to the northern reaches of New Jersey where she was raised by musically inclined parents. Loretta spent six years in Nashville perfecting her skills before journeying back to her home state with the confident tread of experience.

Since then she and her band Down To the Wire have earned acclaim from venues in both New Jersey and New York. Loretta has played for the openings of such performers as Richie Havens and Johnny Winter and her recent CD "Something More" has vocals provided by Bob Delevante of The Delevantes. Her melodies are now carried on college and Internet radio spanning the U.S. and Europe. After signing with Single Barrel Music Publishing she won the ASCAP Plus Award for 2002 to 2007, for alternative market exposure.

Loretta's next release will be featured along with those from such legends as Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard on an Alzheimer's film documentary. The title song, "Sundown Till Dawn" she dedicates to her mother who five years ago was diagnosed with the disease. All proceeds are to go to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease charities.
