"Little Boogaloo" by her late mentor, Abie "Boogaloo" Ames, Eden Brent
had more than two decades of singing the blues under her belt by the
time of 2008's MISSISSIPPI NUMBER ONE, her first widely released record.
Born in the heart of the Magnolia State in Greenville, Brent's
passionate voice is cut by a subtly dark sultriness. She wields it with
remarkable versatility as the mood shifts from jazz torch ("Love Me `Til
Dawn") to straight delta blues ("Careless Love") to boogie-woogie both
fast ("Meet You Anywhere") and slow ("Why Don't You Do Right"). Brent's
debut is an earnest yet scorching introduction to a new old voice from
the South. |
